Next time I'll think first :-) It used to be that we couldn't change the font - it was scattered all over the source. However, we do use ApplFont these days, so I assume that indeed we do use the application font. Ahem. Whoops. Bright Red Face :-) My comment was I think due to a memory of someone telling me that MacWrite ignored the change. So, I'm still uncertain. No we didn't change the way we access the standard font, so if it worked for 4.5 or 4.6, it'll still work for 5.0 Sorry for the confusion. Remind to wake up next time I answer a message. -Rich- -- Richard Scorer * UUCP: {ames,apple,portal,sun,voder}!claris!richard Claris Corporation * AppleLink: Scorer1 * CompuServe: 74017,344
