I just downloaded the long awaited 3.01c. My preferred font for all mesages is MS Sans Serif 9. While it looks ok in the font selector window, my message fonts all look like something else (Arial?). I know it's a fresh release but, any thoughts? -- Tom

To change it, open a new message editor window and go to the Message -> Font menu option (or click on the "F" font toolbar button in the main toolbar)--do not use the Font Selector pull-down combobox in the message editor toolbar. I recommend against using bitmapped fonts within the reader window since it can cause strange artifacts, such as hyperlinks appearing in incorrect locations. We haven't been able to figure this one out yet. You can use Courier New or another non-proportional TrueType font instead. -- +--------------------------------------------------+ | David J.

I still haven't been able to get MS Sans Serif in any editor window.While the pull-down combobox indicates MS Sans Serif, the appearance is still Arial. I'm stumped. This wasn't a problem for me in 3.01b.

This wasn't a problem for me in 3.01b. It could be due to the new TER editor in v3.01c. I think bitmap font support is quite limited in TER currently, due to the problems it causes. -- +--------------------------------------------------+ | David J.

In the reader, when you change the font in Reader|Font..., the message display doesn't change at all. Worse, (and this I find to be a problem) pressing F12 (Toggle Monospaced View) has no effect either.

3.01d fixed the monospace issue while he was at it. I am not sure about the font issues you are talking about.
