I have been searching for the fix for this problem so long that I am now retrieving, via google, a reference to the question below that I asked on this list in June. Recently I found a hint in a Borland java news group that "Monospaced" in the code should be "monospaced". I am posting this here in case someone follows that google post to this site and is disappointed to find the question without an answer. currentFont = new java.awt.Font("Monospaced", Font.PLAIN, 12 ); // should be "monospaced" Apparently some browsers will accept either "Monospaced" or "monospaced". ---John Lucey RootsWeb-Help-D-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > Subject: [RW-Help] AOL Fixed Pitch Font problem in Java > Date: Sat, 09 Jun 2001 14:28:40 -0400 > From: John Lucey <jlucey@acm.org> > To: RootsWeb-Help-L@rootsweb.com > > I have put up a web page at <http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~manifest> > that runs a Java applet for making spaced out columns for use by > Rootsweb ISTG ship list transcribers.
