Hello,

I am a new user of Octave trying to run Octave 2.1.36 on Billīs OS 
(=Win XP Home in my case) on a HP Compaq nx7000 laptop computer. It 
seems to have been installed properly, but one annoying problem 
remains to solve.

When entering commands at the Octave prompt, it keeps drawing 
vertical bars between every character. Output from Octave is clean 
though, so when I press enter after typing a command, Octave echoes 
the command without the vertical bars.

To me it looks like a possible font problem, not necessarily within 
Octave. Can the fonts used by Octave be changed somewhere? I did some 
test with the general window settings found in the control panel, but 
without success.

The nx7000 has got an ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 graphics card 
installed.

Any suggestions are welcome.
/Per Liss
