Thanks!  I have a "workable" system right now with anti-aliasing turned 
off.  I really don't notice any font "quality" differences with it 
turned off... maybe it wasn't working before??  Past experiences with 
down-grading packages have been frightening <grin>, so I will probably 
stay where I am and ride this through..
