Ok, I won't remove anything. But why should I embarras myself all those stupid fonts? I mean, Japanese Fonts? Comic? Didot? MarkerFelt? Brush? There 38 fonts in this folder. It's really annoying when selecting a font to go through this meaningless list. Anyways, that was my rant of the day. ;-]

No tables needed, no special functions. Just plain text. But I think I will stick with Word, for compatibility with Endnote (I have a 2000+ bibliography in there) and with web databases. That's more important than fiddling with kerning...

Why don't I just throw out Word? Wait let me think why should I not... Nothing comes out... I think again... hhhnnnggg that's hard... no, can't find any reason to keep Word... In fact it's the shittiest app I got on my Mac, come to think of it... Indesign, heh? Hmm. I have a...

Ok. The problem is not in the OS, it's in Word. Microsoft, thank you once again. Stupidest app I know. Accentuated characters work in other text editors. But in Word, it doesn't. I tried your shortcuts, they dont work, simple. Since I use a Canadian keyboard, I switched to the US for your...

Why is it that OS X doesn't interpret special characters of fonts that work flawlessly in OS 9? For instance, the german a-umlaut is not reproducible in most fonts (apart from Times, but who wants to use that - except windoze users?). The unbreakable space is another example (it is viewable as...

I think there are some useless fonts in the Library/fonts root directory, surely I will never use this one: ???????? Pro W4.otf This is a set of 6 fonts which take about 60 mo of space! From their character, I judge them to be japanese fonts or the like. I'd love to throw them out (maybe...

I want to control all my fonts, and I noticed that some fonts are so installed that you can only delete them as root user. I'd like to get rid of all the unnecessary fonts and put them where they belong, in a Suitcase folder. Before I do an irremediable stupidity and throw out important fonts...

Had to trash TCP/ip prefs in OS 9.2. Then got my dsl line back on track. Then I rebooted in OS X, as expected, won't work. Well, I improvised. I left the domain name fields blank, in the TCP/IP tab. That's it, now it works... What the heck? Go figure, with UNIX and all. If someone could say why...

I guess this problem is going to deeply annoy me. The dsl connection doesn't work now, neither on OS 9.2.2 or OS X. I had it work this morning on both systems, then on os 9 only, then on neither. I'll call my isp again but it's always the same story: trashing prefs, restarting, etc. They don't...

Ok, dunno what happened, it works now, didn't work yesterday. Can I state just a teeny complaint? At least in OS 9, I could've point to the culprit. But anyways, thanks for trying to help!

But the manual also says to configure the PPP section with the domain names, and I remember that the first time I configured it I'd enter the wrong addresses and the connnection failed. So I think that both items are used, PPP and PPPoE. Let me say now something that might be stupid: the modem...

We're getting there: The instruction manual for the dsl modem says to check the 'connect via PPPoE' box on the PPPoE tab. So I guess we can conclude that it's a PPPoE device. Sorry for my ignorance...

In the TCP/IP tab, I choose Via PPP and configure the domaine names. But I also insert stuff in the PPPoE tab, where I choose the option connect via PPPoE. Hope that helps.

Thanks for any help. I now use permanently OS X 10.1.3, Yikes 400, 576 ram, etc. I was surfing on the internet (Explorer) and I lost my dsl connection. It "connects" but receives nothing from the server. The DSL and the Ethernet light on the Speedstream modem are on, but no signal coming...
