        Hi;

        Snd comes with quite a bit of html documentation, which
can be very helpful.
        One way of altering the fonts snd uses are to set some
Xresources:

Snd*buttonFont: 10x20
Snd*boldbuttonFont: 10x20
Snd*axisLabelFont: 10x20
Snd*axisNumbersFont: 10x20
Snd*fontList: 10x20
Snd*helpTextFont: 10x20

        (choose the actual fonts you want)
        Put these in your ~/.Xdefaults file. then do
'xrdb ~/.Xdefaults' and fire up snd. (some of these
might have to be monospace fonts or they will be ignored)
[usually? .Xdefaults is loaded when you log on, but
if you change it, you have to load the changes manually]

        If you hold control when you click on play, you
will get a moving cursor. You can also control this by
setting a variable in the 'listener' (this is where you
can type in scheme commands) or by putting the command in
your ~/.snd startup file.
