Chris; I am not going to be very helpful here except to try to assure you that the problem is solveable. I have had that problem occur several times but still have no idea of what happened to cause it to occur. My actions to clear the "no-width" problem have been: 1) Resetting all font paths (in a fashion such as you have performed). 2) Delete FONTLISTv2 and add back the fonts. 3) Replace FONTEQUIVv2 and PlugIn.TypeBucket from the PgS floppies, and perform step 2 again. If none of this works (and it usually does work), then I repeat 3) except that I only load Times and Triumvirate fonts and test. I realize that this may sound much like an "old wives tale" but it seems that some bad fonts are able to mess up the whole PgS font system. 4) If it still does not work then I delete PSPrefs file and try again. 5) Finally if it STILL doesn't work then I delete PgS itself and reload from floppy (I think I have done that only once or twice in all the years that I have been using PgS). Undoubtedly Mark or Michael can provide better help but I know that this eventually works as I have done it several times. -bill
