Hi, Is there anyway to get Communicator's standard fixed-width font (ie. Courier) to look half decent under FreeBSD? For some strange reason this font looks okay when running Navigator 3.04, but Communicator 4.xx seems to have lost the plot somewhere. Both versions look okay under Linux in this respect, but Windows & MacOS have to take first prize for this I'm afraid. Is this because Windows & MacOS have the 'Courier New' font? Please help, I can't possibly be the only one to have noticed this. It really upsets the web browsing experience. By the way, here's something I think everyone needs to know. Stick the following in your .Xdefaults file: *documentFonts.xResolution*iso-8859-1: 100 *documentFonts.yResolution*iso-8859-1: 100 This helps make the fonts in Communicator more readable (by using 100dpi fonts) but this is still far from perfect.
