How can you add or change the fonts in the Plaint text
fonts choices under Internet Options? I only have one
choice shown in the Plaint text box and that is WP Box
Drawing. There are no other choices. WP Box drawing has
me typing gibberish. In fact, as I am typing this I
cannot tell what I am typing!! Help!!

Install more monospaced fonts.
Plain text fonts are
monospaced fonts (and IE does not even accept all monospaced fonts)
Try Andale Mono, Courier New, Lucida Console, PrestigeCond or other
monospaced fonts until you find one you like.

In IE go to Tools...Internet Options...General tab, Fonts. In the drop down
box at the top, make sure "Latin based" is selected. The default Web page
font should be "Times New Roman" and the Plain text font should be "Courier
New".

There are a lot of posts regarding fonts on this forum...

I will bet there is a nasty problem behind it... :-(
