Hi. This is probably off-topic here but it's where I hang out.

I have a website that produces stock charts. On the PC, I use Courier or some other fixed width font to view them. That works fine.

Since Palm is getting better and better on the web (much better than the old web clipping. However, I can't seem to get Blazer to pay any attention to a font statement.

I've tried <span, <div and everything else I could think of. I d/l a Palm font (Lucinda) and specified it. Nothing.

Any ideas would be appreciated. I'm sure my users would be happy to d/l a font if that's what it takes.

Thanks,
John

I'm not sure if FontHackV and YAHM run on the NVFS Palms, but if so, you can a) install YAHM ("Yet Another Hack Manager") which will allow you to b) run FontHackV, which allows you to assign fonts to specific applications. c) Use iSiloX (available as a free download from www.isilox.com ) to convert Windows fonts to iSilo format, then install those fonts on the Palm; d) install FontCollector (from http://www.freewarepalm.com/fonts/fontcollector.shtml ) and use it to convert the iSilo fonts to FontHackV format; then e) use FontHackV to assign the font(s) to Blazer.

Fonts4OS5 (on the Palm) would work, too, and FontCollector can convert iSilo and other fonts to Fonts4OS5 format.

Yeah, I think that would work for some things, but I'm looking to change the font in the html page.

The default font is good for just text, but then I have a stock chart:

x x
xox
xox
o

etc. I need a fixed width font, like courier. I don't believe any Palm browser will let me change it like that.

Thanks
