    when opening text file using wnbrowse the text is gibberish;
    little squares instead of text. to read the text i click the "options"
    and "select font". i then change the "script" from "western" to any
    other, for example greek.
    the text is then readable. but i cannot save the setting and
    the problem reappears as soon as i open the file.
    as a matter of fact the problem reappears if i switch from text
    to hex mode and back again to text mode.
    the font i am using is courier new and works perfectly using wordpad
    so the font is not the problem.
    wnbrowse version 4.8b, using win98se.

    i am sure that if you download it at www.ngthomas.co.uk you'll see why i
    have been using it for almost ten years. until it started playing tricks
    it was (and is) a great program.

    found the solution. i found on the EXTREME forum that too many fonts in the fonts
    folder can cause problems. i had recently added 403 ttf fonts thinking it can't
    hurt. well, lo and behold i removed them and the GIBBERISH problem disappeared
    not only from the WNBROWSE program but from my messenger which also
    showed unreadable lines. thanks.
