Why don't you try "Layout"? Layout is a free software that changes the font and size of the text on the desktop. it also can change the icon spacing. I changed my desktop font to "Hoso-Mincho" 9-pt on KanjiTalk 6.0.2.1 using Layout(version 1.9) and it works fine. I believe It must works on 6.0.4 too. Hope this helps. By the way, Apple Japan prices a copy of KanjiTalk 6.0.4 at 70,000 Yen ($470) for those who purchased the Mac not from Apple Japan. It's a little expensive, isn't it? ----- Osamu HIGUCHI Sony Corporation -- PC Division Tokyo
