Hi, What are you pasting from and into? What fonts are you using? I use
Terminal in MS Windows95 and paste it into Notepad. Both of these have
equal spaced fonts. Someone reposted my list of fonts that work well. I
neglected to save the list I made. Oops. If you paste it into Word or
Wordperfect then the default font is distorting. Some fonts can be fixed
easily enough with a few spacesbars entered but some will never work. I
think Word starts out with New Times Roman. Anyway experiment with how
many equal spaced fonts that you have to see which ones you like. Jon
