    //Hello All,//


    Fixed it.

    I had to use "TT" fonts, it worked without freezing the software up and putting blocks where incoming text should be.

    10 points text size.

    May have mentioned this before.

    Running 4.15

    I tried this and figured that the "freezing" problem is, that when using Wine you can hide the (still open) font dialog by clicking elsewhere, so the application window is over the dialog. Since the dialog is modal however, it has to be closed for the application to respond to anything else. This can still be done using the ESC key :)

    BTW: you supplied an invalid email address ;)

    Thanks, I was sad to that I could not use your software.

    Everything is fixed now and I am glad.

    I seem to be messing up keystrokes. That comes with my doing fido stuff early in the morning with no glasses.
