The font used in the courier orders is very florid and probably close to what we may have seen in 1863. But for clarity's sake, I would prefer to read my dispatches in a more basic style...like Verdana. Is there a way to change the font?

Re: Fonts
See now, that's interesting. I want to go in the opposite direction. I found a handwriting font called Lamar Pen that looks civil war period I'd like to use. If my file attachment attempt is successful, you can see it below. [file name=July_1st.doc size=24576]http://www.norbsoftware.com/Portal/medi ... ly_1st.doc[/file]
OK...that didn't work. How does the file attachment option on the bottom of the reply box work???

OK, I'll try the attachment again. It's a gif file, size is 27KB. I'll try and attach it as an image.

just goes to show how everyone's taste is different...
FWIW, we did attempt to go with a more handwriting-style font towards AJ's suggestion, but we could not overcome the limitations of the font rendering application that comes packaged with the SDK; so be forewarned that your nice handwriting font might not come out as you expect it to.
