The default font for versions 4.1-5.2 on Mac OS X (and previous versions on Mac OS 7-9) was a special bitmap version of Courier which was included with Mathematica. This ancient font is not compatible with the modern font rendering engine used by Mathematica 6. So, in short, there is no way to get the exact same look as Mathematica 5.0 using Mathematica 6.0. -Rob
