When connecting to a remote site, they can easily jack up your fonts.

Since we cannot rely on the report side returning the user environment to what it was, we need to do it ourselves.

xtrn_sec.js should already be doing this (restoring the sysop configured fonts). Are you not calling rlogin.js as an external program?

I was running it using ;exec sysop command for testing. I will test it as an external program later but I assume you're right.

I was using an older fonts.ini file with all the defaults commented out. This is the first time I've ever seen my bbs use courier. I copied over the latest fonts.ini and changed everything to cp437 and it seems to be ok now.
