Re: Formatting problems in RedHat 8.0

Lars,

  Thank you for your prompt response.  I will give the
CVS version a try later tonight.  In the meantime, can
you recommend a particular font/size that would
minimize this issue if possible?  Right now, I'm just
using the default and I have not tried adjusting the
font.

Thanks,
Curt
