kenglade n00b Registered: 09/16/09 Posts: 100	Thanks, people. Guess that's something I just have to live with. The current font is shadowed and as I get older it appears blurred. Just wanted to change it to something like Times new roman.

I don't know of any way to remove the shadow entirely. I'll check around. _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor

MacGizmo What? Registered: 04/03/02 Posts: 18793 Loc: Arizona	TinkerTool System will (supposedly) allow you to change the font, but I've not tried it, and have heard that it only works with a very select few fonts. _________________________ The Graphic Mac - Tips, reviews & more on all things OSX & graphic design.
