Ideally you should aim for an font with characters twice as high as wide (as on an typewriter). Draw an sqare of identical characters (or view this): LL LL Count the pixels for the vertical and horizontal distances (for example how many mouse pointer positions you can move to). For an screen with sqare pixels (most newer ones, exept 1280x1024) you should have double the number of pixels vertically (I use 8x16 pixels font). For non sqare pixels simply take into count that the screen size is 4x3, so divide both of these by number of screen pixels and then multiply with font pixels to get the ratio which should be 1x2. -- Neil Franklin, Nerd, Geek, Unix Guru, Hacker, Mystic nei...@franklin.ch.remove http://neil.franklin.ch/ 20th century record companies fit the 21st century data highways as good as 19th century stagecoaches fit the 20th century freeways
