As you (Mr. Pearce) said, you have English finder on your mac. So you can edit finder of KanjiTalk comparing with US finder very easily.

Um, very similar usage:-) I leave font as Osaka, but spacing and font size are changed same as US finder. Why Apple and Apple Japan choose 12pt..., I wonder. Most of the bad impression of Kanjitalk becomes that "manuke-na" 12pt font appearance, I think. SweetJam has better designed 9pt font, so look much better than original(?) KanjiTalk's 9pt Osaka font. This makes the difference between SweetJam and KanjiTalk impression, as if KanjiTalk finder's font is alterd. > 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.

And I've heard that Apple would sell KanjiTalk for $750 with "kana" keyboard in USA. :-O :-O :-O ========================================================================== Masato Ogawa Sony corp. ogawa@sm.sony.co.jp Tokyo, Japan ==========================================================================
