Am using IE 4.01 sp1 |and cannot determine how to change the fonts for |viewing fixed-width - I've gone to "Tools" to "options" |to "Read" to "fonts" and this is where I'm totally befuddled. |Fixed-width font is set to Courier New. Default charset |is Western. There is no fixsys or just courier. Any |suggestions?? Thanx. If what I've described above is |correct - then it's not working. | '---------------------- What I`ve done is set the proportional font to Fixed Width too. Since this is the second time someone has mentioned using FixedSys, I hacked about a bit more. The font selection window only allows you to select TrueType fonts, but there is a way of getting FixedSys in Outlook Express. Save the following to a file on your computer and name it oefixedsys.reg: =-> Start copying on the next line REGEDIT4 [HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\Trident\International\1252] "IEFixedFontName"="Fixedsys" "IEPropFontName"="Fixedsys" =-> Stop copying on the previous line now go to the file in Explorer (ie go through 'My Computer' to the place where you saved the file) and double-click on it. The font for the primary user of your computer will now be fixedsys. (The primary user is the only user on a single-user machine, so if you don`t have multi-user support enabled this won`t matter) Run Outlook Express, and presuming you have Western character set chosen in the font settings, you should now see messages in FixedSys! I hope some people find a use for this. (I take no responsibility for any damage that this registry hack may do to your computer... use it at your own risk. It *should* do what I say on a pretty standard Win95 installation) |\/| _..__|_o._ /\_|_| o._ _ mart.atkins@-- | |(_|| |_|| | /--\|_|<|| |_> --bigfoot.com
