First up I guess you still have not managed to get your display modes
working properly going by the mode you are using :-/. I reread the mail you
posted to the Mediator list and looked at the URL
(#http://www.iiyama.co.uk/PRO410.html#)you specified for you monitor (Nice
monitor! :-) ). You said at the time that *your* monitor couldnt do modes
above 1280x512, going by the website you should be able to do 1600x1200 -
it is definatly a Picasso setting you need to adjust anyway because I used
to get the same problem as you. (Anyway, mail me privately if you wanna
have another go at getting it going right)
As for your fonts stuff, I use Tahoma for just about all my workench usage
(occasionally Trebuchet for some other stuff) These fonts are TrueType
fonts so you will require TTFManager from aminet (the fonts are generic web
fonts and you should have them installed). You can find the fonts on Matt
Sealeys excellent site (http://www.kittycat.co.uk) within the webfonts
guide (http://www.kittycat.co.uk/computing/webfonts) This also has guides
on using the fonts with your system and also configuring Voyager to use
them to best effect.
