Even more slippery than David suggests! :-)

I've been having a play, and can report:

      As David says, Homerton.Medium as the desktop font makes the 
     problem go away. However, it looks IMHO horrible as a 
     desktop font, and screws up the display of NetFetch's panel 
     at 12pt.
     
     Trinity 12pt looks much better, but the everestmax pages 
     won't iconise.
     
     Then I looked at what other fonts I had, and here comes the 
     /really/ slippery bit. Paladin.Roman (came with OPro) looks 
     good, but at 12pt shows the non-iconise problem; however, at 
     10pt I can iconise.
     
      So I went back to Trinity.Medium and tried 11pt (10pt seems 
     too small to me, and I can now iconise.

I'm sure someone understands this, but someone is not me.

I wonder also if it solves the OP's Fireworkz32 problem.

All very fascinating!

With best wishes,

Peter.
