Jamie,
No I don't think it's that simple. I'm wondering if its something to do
with "black on black" in the options menu, as I say its intermittent.
but thanks for the suggestion.

Mike,
The only thing that I can think of that crops up quite often regarding
text
not being spoken properly is either that the screen needs refreshed
with
Insert+Escape or maximised using Alt+Spacebar followed by Letter "X".
No idea about the font issue I'm afraid. Are you definitely focussed
on a
specific character when you activate the command? For example, is it
possible that you are on a list item in the "Not selected" condition?
If
so, it is likely that Jaws will not know what character you want the
font
of.
Cheers,
Jamie
