HTH -- > Dennis M. linux user #180842 Or you can go to the page you want as your start page, enter the settings menu and click "Save View Profile Web Browsing". This way you can keep another page/directory for use with Konqueror's "home" button. Myself I like to start with a blank page, so I enter "about:blank" in the adress field and hit Return before I save the profile. As for the fonts problem, I have no clue. Björn Olsson
