Do you mean the line thickness or the character width? It looks fine here in Netscape 4.77 although it hangs when playing because of a bug in Netscape's VM. It runs properly in Mozilla with the java plugin from the Blackdown jdk 1.3. > You wouldn't happen to know a workaround or fix for that, would you? If you have a jdk or jre >= 1.1 installed the appletviewer might be better. If your netscape is old it could be that it doesn't recognise `Monospaced' as a font name, you could try changing it to `Courier' in JavePlate.java line 113. If your problem is the character width this applet might be usefull: http://www.dmriley.demon.co.uk/tmp/fonttest.html (it will print the character widths for the `Monospaced' and `Courier' fonts). -- David Riley dave@dmriley.demon.co.uk ObAscii: no such file or directory core dumped
