Hey guys, thanks for the input!

How would I go about changing the "system" font to the same one used on
other computers? The reason I'm asking is that I already know that the
font on the spread*** is the same on both computer (Arial 10), so the
'system' font suggestion makes lots of sense!

I tried the same file on both my HOME computers and they both look like
my notebook.

It seems I may have a newer font that the older computers (at work)
don't have as the system font.

Thanks,
KJ
