Hallo Andreas,

Thanks for the reply. I had already tried several fonts, but for some
reason none worked. The one I had installed now was 'MS sans serif' and
showed nothing at all. The stranged thing is that all the rest of
gnumeric worked fine - no exception - for example, the coordinate box
shows the rol/col correctly. Why? Is there a special requisite for the
col/row headers?

Anyway, I experimented a bit more and found a font that works.

Again, thanks,
John
