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.
