Anyone know how to change the system fonts in nt351 from those garish bold black ones? I thought i'd found the registry setting in control panel/desktop somethin or other, and did change from san serif to tahoma ( tho theres nothin wrong with san serif) but what i wanted to change was the style from bold to regular. the style setting tho only has a number (0) which ideally should correspond to regular, tho it doesn't, and i tried 1 and 2 with no apparent change.Anyone know the solution? Thanx-doc

Since 3.51 has the Windows for Workgroups interface I seem to recall a icon called FONTS in control panel.
Did you look there or in Display properties?
hacking the registry concerning Fonts is a very bad idea.
