Yes, thanks Patrick, I am looking at this in Monaco now. I think
this is what I had my old OE on OS 9 set in. For some reason it
looks a bit flowery for my taste now! Nice but. I have also since
discovered that it is actually 'Courier New' that has the faded
look, Courier (proper) seems black enough.

You do understand that all this is so I can see the little cute
markers that JL so often kindly illustrates his posts with. I
will be giving up a really plain and unobtrusive, perfectly
shaded, perfectly-on-screen-readable Geneva for him. I hope he
damn well appreciates it. :-)
