I've convinced myself that the problem is nothing new to Panther or Mathematica 5.0. I had been using a "haxie" named Silk (http://www.unsanity.com) to enable Quartz text smoothing in Carbon apps, and it no longer works in Panther. Supposedly an update of Silk is forthcoming soon. And with any luck a Cocoa version of the Mathematica front end will happen in our lifetime. (?) BTW, Panther is well worth the upgrade. ----- Selwyn Hollis http://www.math.armstrong.edu/faculty/hollis On Oct 26, 2003, at 12:41 AM, Selwyn Hollis wrote: > I've just installed Mac OS X 10.3, and I was horrified to find that > font smoothing no longer works in Mathematica 5.0.
