When the //gs displays text on the screen with a color background and color text some combinations use dithering and look strange. I have noticed that when using the desktop the grey background has red inter- ference in it, particularly when the disk drive runs, it looks bad in the color mode. I don't like the font Apple uses, the 'm' and 'w' are hard to read because the center portions are drawn so thin. On a color monitor these blur into almost a square block. Rick Fincher Ranger@ecsvax
