I'm using Andale Mono, it says here that I'm using it at 18pt too, seems large! But it's Monaco 14 in TM when I'm typing replies. I'm going to have to experiment a bit, Monaco looks so different in TextMate from Terminal. Justin. -- Justin C, by the sea.

Didn't want to be annoying anyone with lines > that are too long or anything along those.. lines :P Lines that are too long are more difficult to read. I think the research done on this found that if the distance from the end of one line to the beginning of the next was too far the eye got lost - it didn't know which line was the next and had to hunt vertically. This slows down the reading. It's not an issue for just a line or two, but it is for paragraphs of many lines. Justin. -- Justin C, by the sea.
