- Talking about fonts, the HP VUE User's guide does not mention any
- possibility of changing them to some more readable ones. I
- find the courier-like default not only unattractive but also,
- sometimes confusing. Look at the difference between 0 and 8!
-
- You got to carefully look at them on my 710 with the 16 in
- color (1024x768) monitor.
-
- Swiss fonts would be much better.
