Mike… Oops! I must have done something wrong. I was in Font Manager updating after adding the list of .lib fonts I had in storage. Then I called up a doc I was working on that had been saved with Times normal 12, and when it came up, all the text appeared squashed into little dots at the left edge of the screen. I can't figure out what happened. If I change the font style of the entire doc to something else, it redraws just fine. But neither Times nor Triumverate will work. It's as if all the text piled up on top of the first characters on each line. I've gone back into Font Manager and tried re-updating, re-adding, you name it, but nothing. I also seem to have trouble getting all of the fonts in all of my font sub-drawers to list in the font selector window like I'd like. Something funny too: after doing all the updating, I noticed that the font selector window would be blank when I called it up. Times would be listed as the selected font, but there was no list in the window. If I just barely moved the slider gadget, the list would appear. This has never happened before. And, while the window was blank, I noticed that if I clicked in it, the font the pointer was over would show thru for a second and be selected. It's as if the list was invisible, but still there. I then went back and removed several drawers from the Fontlist, and the list reappeared when I tried it again. Any thoughts? I'm stumped, and I desperately need Times and Triumverate back. CT
