 I personaly like Lucida Console but the matter is that just about every
 other client I know defaults to a "regular" font (or doesn't specify
 making messenger use my chosen font, not sure) while pidgen forces an
 outdated font on the recipient wile the person sending it doesn't even see
 he's doing it since their font is fine (and usualy compleatly diferent).

 And as far as I know changing fonts in pidgen won't change the font sent
 trough msn (the protocol does support it).

 All I'm asking is that Pidgen use a True Type font (MS San Serif as a ttf
 version) instead of the current one that shipped with windows 1.x... I
 like my text to look a bit more modern then 1987.
