What you can do is trash your screen fonts from the SE/30 and replace them with the screen fonts from the IIcx....this should make things appear ok on the IIcx... Whats happening is that the font number that is assigned to bookman by your se/30 is assigned to palo alto by the IIcx..If microsoft would follow the guidelines this wouldn't happen...Good Luck....Barry .
