David,

About fonts -

Both use sans serif font for everything except the actual message text. Beta does too, except for private messages, which are currently displayed in sans serif.

I'm using Netscape, if that makes a difference. The Beta SI uses the font that I specify in Netscape preferences for the message text, and a sans serif which does not change for everything else on the page. I'm not complaining, just commenting, I think this is a good thing.

But here's something odd. Look at this poster's name in new and old SI.

In old SI, I see Gaston Billetes with an accent on the o. But in new SI, I see Gast3/4n Billetes, with the 3/4 being a single symbol.

Why should it differ between old and new SI?
