Carolyn,

The typical problem I encounter is when the default font does not exist
on the target system.  So when I have problems I generally fiddle around
trying to select a new font that is presumably available.   If that doesn't
resolve your problem let us know.  There are also some quirky things about
the interface.

I would really like to see the default font selection logic in OpenEV
improved.

Best regards,
