Ever since I installed System 7.0 on several of our Mac Plusses, I have
experienced little problems with NCSA Telnet. The problems manifest
themselves in two areas: fonts and option key remapping.

The only font that seems to work okay is Courier. All the others result
in a wide window, with all characters being displayed as if they were
about twice their width. Even the cursor gets this width, so I suspect
there is a problem with Telnet calculating the maximum width of all
the characters in a font. The characters themselves have their normal
shape (i.e., not extra wide). Has anyone else seen this? How can I cure
it?

Also, the remapping of Option to Ctrl (very useful on a Plus, if you
also want to use Command shortcuts) doesn't work right anymore. The keys
produce control codes nowhere near those they should produce. However,
when I turn off Command keys, the Command combination *does* produce the
right control code. Before System 7, this has always worked for me, both
with Dutch and US versions of the system software.

Setup:	- Macintosh Plus
	- 2.5 MB memory
	- 20 MB hard disk (several brands)
	- No INITS (oops, extensions)
	- System 7.0, newly installed
	- Only the standard fonts in the System file (those that are put
    	  there by the Installer)
	- Normal keyboard (US version)
	- MacTCP 1.0.1 over LocalTalk
	- NCSA Telnet 2.4 beta 11 (MacTCP version)

Those are not fatal problems, but they are annoying. Thanks in advance
for any info.
