If you enlarge it or delarge it, it loses resolution, but pretty much keeps the shape (Though depending on your line height it might make it taller and thinner). Courier 9 works okay too, but it has lotsa little frilly things which (I think) make the work look YuCkY! And an annoying thing: When you print out monaco, it comes out looking like courier! -- +===========+================+====================================+ | SHADE AND |Ember the Ranger| Nightbringer Nightbringer Bring Me | |SWEET WATER|Vyrthana | A Knight/Twenty-Three Ticks With No| |~-~-~-~-~-~| Firesong| One To Fight/I'd Summon My Evil | |WIND TO THY| Talaranth | Twin Just For One Piece Of Bread | | WINGS |Fyrlen Brighteye|/But Before I could Eat It I'd Find | +===========+================+=====================\=Myself Dead/=+
