I'm using AOL's own programmes for email and newsgroups - they don't support
any others. It displays messages in Arial (I think).

You better listen to Lester, because my advice would be to find a new
provider! One that doesn't try to be so interdependent on itself and one
that is more universally accepting of other programs and plugins. I know
you get sick of people telling you this, but there are reasons why so
many people say this! It's is inherently true.

     Try ANYFONT.EXE by Paul Burton, it converts most ASCII into somewhat
legable pictures for AOL messages and e-mail. The address is below.
