Generally, if I point at something, I've tried it/use it regularly here. If I'm _not_ directly familiar with it, but only passing along second hand info, I say so. I have Fonthack installed here on a Handspring Visor Pro under OS 3.5.2H, along with an assortment of other hacks. I've tested it, and it does work with Plucker. I'm not currently using it with Plucker, but that is not a matter of compatibility. It's just a question of not finding any fonts I like better than the standard ones enough to use in Plucker. The Visor Pro is a 160x160 low-res display, and I was interested in fonts smaller than the default standard font that would provide more lines of text on the acreen while remaining readable. I've had _no_ problems on the Visor I can attribute to Fonthack, but I can't guarantee that will be true for you. ______ Dennis > Thanks again, > Bruce. > > p.s.
