I guess I should have kept the original text on so people can see what I was
replying to ;)

Yes, I have tried all the fonts in my fonts dir. They all repeat the same
results. I continue to get the different characters, but they are just
represented in their respective font type. So, the program is seeing the
font dir; it can read the fonts, but it is just mixing up the acsii code it
seems like.

Thanks for the help :)

Dan
