Yes, I found the other setting, changed it, as well (forgot to mention
that), and noticed that the update did not occur, as described. You see the
update occur in the Preferences window itself, but not in the code pane of
the CHB. Open a new CHB and you will see the font change. That looks like
a bug.

It doesn't--I just tried it again. You must launch a new CHB. The browser
with the old font in the code pane remains as it was, not matter what you
select. This doesn't matter much if D6 is coming soon.

Good. So...when will D6 appear?

I'm trying to rebuild the ActiveX control sample Random, which is installed
with Dolphin 5. I'm using Visual Studio Express 2005 beta with the Windows
XP SP2 Platform SDK, installed to cover files like windows.h (which don't
ship with the beta). The original project is converted to a solution. When
I build, there is a problem "spawning" the IDL compiler midl.exe, which is
in the Platform SDK stuff, also. I included its path in the PATH variable,
but this did not help. Has anyone got the Random example to build?
