Whoa. That's a nice start! I wonder how I missed that all the weeks
I've been using Ubuntu. :-)

I can't find anything to do with a "font preview app". When you used
the word "will", does that mean it's coming in the future?

John - Thanks for the link. After surfing around for an hour, I
discovered that there hasn't really been any work on an overall font
management app since the late 1990's. I DID find one moderately useful
app though that is still in development. I haven't pointed it at my
directory of 10,000 fonts yet, but it's display of my installed fonts
looked promising.

Now - Does anyone have any suggestions about the DHCP issue? :-)
