Thanks. Can I mask this in my $PreferencesDirectory? This is where I expected to find this kind of thing in the first place. The idea of chaning user preferences in a system file bothers me. > > request the helvetica font: > > !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! > ! > !

Or just set all the fonts at once. > *fontList: -*-helvetica-medium-r-*-*-*-100-*-*-*-*-*-* I still don't know why Mathematica would ship with the font defaults arranged in such a way as to cause it to give me errors when viewing the help files. It makes me think something is still amiss. Were they expecting my system to have these already installed? Should I have other fonts installed? Where would I get them, if I wanted them? > > Regards > Jens > STH
