I followed the directions on the page above and got the results shown here with Netscape: http://www.mindspring.com/~hallstevenson/files/screenshot-012801.jpg I'm using *only* the built-in TrueType server with XFree86 v4. If you notice the items that are bold, but should be italic. I've since fixed that by taking the "alias" file like this one: -monotype-Arial-medium-r-normal--6-60-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -monotype-Arial- medium-r-normal--9-90-75-75-p-0-iso8859-1-monotype-Arial-medium-r-normal --7-70-0-0-p-0-iso8859-1 -monotype-Arial-medium-r-normal--9-90-75-75-p-0 -iso8859-1 and duplicating it but replaced either the "medium" or "normal" entries to "italic". I don't have a current screenshot, but slashdot.org now shows up properly. I'm also able to pick any size font with Netscape's drop-down selection box (from 6 up to 24 -- the same sizes shown in the alias file). I must admit, it was a pain in the a**. It should *NOT* be that much work, but it's fixed now. Good luck Hall
