Just wanted to add to that - xfstt works great fo rmaking netscape look good :) unfortunatly xfstt has no fonts with it...so you will need to find some true type fonts. Personally I used to use Win95 and I still have a licence for Win95 (even though I don't use it) so I just grabbed the M$ Truetype fonts from windows. Unfortunatly these are "Part of the Operating system" (least as far as I read the "Micro$oft EULA" they are) BTW if anyone knows of any really free TrueType fonts please let me know I would love to put together a little something so that xfstt can work "out of the box" (al I would really need for that would be 1 font actually) As it stands with the latest version, it installs, and it adds scripts et al to start and stop through init (ie it starts on boot now) but, if there are no fonts, it is all for naught - it will fail to run at startup et al because it has no fonts but anyway...once it has fonts...Netscape looks GREAT! -Steve -- ** Stephen Carpenter ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** "We do everything by custom, even belive by it; our very axioms, let us boast of free-thinking as we may, are oftenest simply such beliefs as we have never questioned" --Thomas Carlyle
