The solution is painfully obvious but it may help out some people who are curious... Under CommandShell, I always want to use the COURIER font, but it always seemed too "packed in" for my taste (vertical-wise, that is). What I did was to use FONT/DA Mover to copy COURIER into a new font file (called, CSFont). I then used ResEdit to open this file and change it's name to CSFont (open FOND, then Get Resource Information and change the name to CSFont. I then changed some of the type to better suite my tastes. The 1st thing I did what to increase the descender by 1 point to open up the vertical spacing. I then made ".", "," and other punctuation a little more noticable (i.e. "fatter"). I then saved and closed the changes. It's then a simple matter to add this font to your System (using FONT/DA Mover) and set up your Preferences to use CSFont... Looks nice... -- ======================================================================= #include =:^) Jim Jagielski NASA/GSFC, Code 711.1 jim@jagubox.gsfc.nasa.gov Greenbelt, MD 20771 "Kilimanjaro is a pretty tricky climb.
