it is all down to the javascript.dll version/date/issue_no
.. most of the 32bit dll files for Ie3 seem to be fixed to proportional

also there seem to be different Ie3 distribution sets too since i have
three versions of the Win3.1 Ie3.01 above ... one of which has
proportional font and the other is jscript crippled
