Sorry, this isn't an answer or even a suggestion, but it is a sort of a confirmation. Over the last couple of years, I've done considerable puttering around with different fonts in different windows, running different fonts as the "global" font, etc. While it all seems to basically work, there appear to be a few rough edges left in the font handling code in the window driver. For example, I used to run an italic 9x12 font as the "global" font. I would see all the time various little crumbs left over (often at the extreme left but sometimes other places) after scrolling. This happened in what seemed random events to me. Although I saw it all the time, I don't recall ever being able to reproduce it at will (but didn't try too hard). Okay, here's my solution: I just live with it (pretty helpful, huh? :-). -- Bill Carpenter att!ho5cad!wjc or attmail!bill
