- I don't know about the original poster, but in my case this doesn't help. It
- has nothing to do with the fonts being unavailable to W4W. The fonts are
- supposed to appear in a listbox below the edit box. Actually, I believe
- that the list box is there, it's just hidden behind the main W4W window. If
- you use the up/down arrow keys, the font name listed in the edit box will
- cycle through all font options.
-
- I've seen this behavior from several apps for this type of control. I think
- it's an OS/2 bug, not a bug in the apps.
