That got Safari back to normal, but for some reason, I've noticed that the problem for me is system-wide. I tried your "defaults write..." trick with another app, and it didn't work. Specifically, I use an app called Password wallet, that has stopped having it's text be anti-aliased; I think since installing the new Safari. Anyone else experience similar results? And as a matter of fact, I just checked, and Illustrator is displaying the same problem in its pallettes. I'm beginning to think it's a font problem. In fact, it might not be that the apps in question are not being smoothed, it's that the font is different... I'll go back to my corner now. ;-} If anyone has any ideas though, please respond. I'm getting pretty confused by this! Sorry for the tangential diversion. John-o

Quick update. I have a theory that Safari installed a new version of Helvetica on my system. I say this because I realized that what I hated about the way the text looks in these other apps is the same way Helvetica bugs me in AppleWorks!

I have no idea about how to confirm this, does anyone else?

Thanks again,
John-o
