Andrew, If you like, you may look at my web-site (see signature). Go to the "Downloads" section. Near the bottom I have style files which are very similar to each other, but differ in the mono spaced fonts. You should move them into the directory: $UserBaseDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/StyleSheets (Evaluate $UserBaseDirectory in Mathematica, to see where it is on your machine) After a restart of Mathematica they will show up in the menu Format/StyleSheet. Besides the mono spaced fonts mentioned on the web-site Palatino is used for text and Optima for messages. If you like one of them, you might make it the default style sheet: Open OptionsInspector switch to "global preferences" and enter the full path to the style sheet at the setting of "DefaultStyleDefinitions" Andrew J Fortune wrote: > Hi all, > > I am a new Mathematica user.
