Hi Jim...

I downloades the MS Visual Studio and checked the fonts in control
panel....no Consolas. I downloaded the Consolas file and it appeared
in control panel and I was able to use it in DX4Win. It didn't seem
to display well on my LCD monitor. I like the default Fixedsys better.
BTW, I'm running Win 2000 Pro.

Are you heading for CO permanantly?

73, Roger
