I'm glad you asked, Dale. I've been meaning to go a-searching fonts for some time and now you've prompted me into it. So far I've found these to be acceptable: Liberation Sans Bitstream Vera Sans Clockopia DejaVu Sans Droid Sans Free Sans Trebuchet MS URW Gothic L Verdana That last one, I believe, was designed by M$ for use in web pages. I'll spend some time with each of them and find which I like best. You'll notice that they're all sans-serif. That's because I believe serif fonts need a higher pixel density than most screens have, and that's why they work well when printed on paper but not here. Hope that hasn't muddied the waters even more! -- Regards Peter
