Someone changed the default font that is stored in the PRAM of your MacII. You need a utility that allows you to change PRAM or clear it. PRAM-5.0 works ok on a MacII (I tested it on mine). There is also a CDEV that allows you to change the default font. Zapping the PRAM using shift-option-command-(control panel) will NOT work, as it only sets a validity bit in the PRAM. Since you can have a different default font, it will pass the test on the next bootup. I believe both PRAM-5.0 and the app font CDEV are available on sumex. > >--------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Mike Strasser ACSnet, CSnet: strasser@murdu.oz > Internet: strasser%murdu.oz@uunet.uu.net >Forestry Section >University of Melbourne >Creswick, Victoria. 3363 Phone: (053) 45 2405 >A u s t r a l i a +61 53 45 2405 >--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jim Kateley UUCP: {sun, voder, nsc, mtxinu, dual}!apple!kateley S,P,HnS!
