I took a look at that, also MS Mincho which is O.K. for a serif font. Thanks.

he idea of swiping files from Windows, however, gave me an idea and I have
ended up using Ariel Unicode which is an excellent sans-serif font that
looks good for the menus and also contains the other characters for the
japanese, russian and greek languages that I need. mknfonts converted it
quite happily.

I am just trying to work out if I can use this to replcae the normal
Aerial font (which has all the bold and itallic options). But it looks as
if it will do nicely for my purposes.
