After a few days with this new font set, I've found that for almost everything it is a much better look and very much easier to read. But in some few areas the fonts get a little squirrely. For instance in system preferences -->users & groups, if you want to make a change and click the lock, it prompts for a password, but the font is just garbage. Fortunately the blank for the password is obvious. So it isn't a perfect font set, but it is more than good enough right now. -- Lloyd
