There's obviously something missing too: The bar on the left is fairly thick and full of Javascript buttons. The site doesn't behave well at anything other than the chosen fonts they built into their page generators. Have no clue as to what those are. At the moment it displays fairly well for me but I don't know why. I've been dorking around with the "netscape fonts" port 100 dpi fonts, font sizes, etc. Speaking of which, I trashed (on purpose) my Netscape Preferences the other day on my Mac. Really changed the fonts that daemonnews used. Then visited some site or another and the daemonnews article font changed back to the way they used to be (too small). Almost made me mad enough to install Internet Exploder. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
