Who/what replaces Foxfont? Aah, I think I know what you mean. You mean that the font appears not to be used, but instead another font is displayed?! That indicates that the OS could not fulfil the request to display the foxfont. You might try AFONT(). If foxfont is not in the resulting array, then it's not (properly) installed on that machine.
