Susan, 

 

It appears you are using a fixed width typewriter font which isn't the
easiest to read. It is the default choice for plain text. Some posters on
the list prefer plain text. Using HTML, which is what I'm using, one is able
to use all kinds of different fonts. I am sending this in Arial 10 pt which
is my default choice. It is a variable width, meaning the "I" takes up less
space than the "H". I prefer sending and receiving in HTML. It allows me to
express myself more and also allows me to embed pictures in my text. 

 

This is the fixed width typewriter font Courier. See the difference? Maybe
not if your program is set to view in plain text. 

 

I have had a PC in the house since the mid 80s. Anyone else remember when
font packages were about $100+ each? Now there is a cazillion on the
computer, 98% never used or looked at.

Well, I went to settings and turned it up a notch. 
Then I chose plain text instead of HTML. 

Is this readable? Is it huge? Is it still small? 

I notice that when I clicked on "reply", Ron's 
message turned from Courier to "variable width" 
and got about half the size. 

I really miss Eudora.

confused----ssssssssssssnnnn

I don't know why Terry is having the small print. I send it out at about 
10 pt. 


It shows up here at no point. 






No rhyme or reason to all of this. Whoever got cute when writing 
software, I wish they hadn't. 


That's the wonderful thing about software. It doesn't matter how many years
it's been, there are still no minimum standards to which anyone can agree on
and adhere to. When the programmers are 14, there is no past precedent.
There's no indication this will ever change. Reference Higher Logic.
