Christopher,

I'm curious, do you know about how many pixels per inch your monitor generates? Mine is in the low 80's and, although I have upgraded my reading glasses several times in the last 4 years, I find the Squeak font to be much more legible than, e.g. the TV listings in the newspaper.

You also mention difficulties changing the default fonts. Did you use 

	world menu/appearance.../system fonts?

That worked fine for me just now.

Cheers,
Bob
