Jp,

... Update to my last message.

I've decided to discontinue use of the Andale Mono font that has caused many users troubles. I agree that for distribution reasons a fonts must auto-install. I've switched all the forms back to using FOXFONT as was used in previous versions of Foxfire!. The idea behind Andale Mono was that it is also a fixed font, but is "less bold" looking than FoxFont and takes less space. We could make the forms more Win 9x like with Andale Mono. However, the installation difficulties for customers outweighs the look-n-feel advantages.

Ultimately, we will be changing the listboxes to use columns and do away with the need for a fixed font. There wasn't time to that for this first release, but the next version we'll do it.

There is a patch available on our website that will elimate the need for Andale Mono. www.micromegasystems.com/foxfire/ffstart.html
