Hi.

I have two requests before you release the next patch.

Could you please encourage your beta-testers to test this ICC interface when
playing with an engine before you make a new path. There is more bug's in there
but I have not time to give a full bug report. I tried to use it 'as it is' but
had to switch back to Winboard after a few games. Beside for the missing inline
comment there also was a 'hang' in one game (the program and ICC connection was
not hanging) when I tried to change som hello message. The time control came up
with wrong times on the next game an nothing else happend.

Also this Web export future has some strange look.
In DHTML export no matter if you set the chess symbols to not CA-font, it is
coming up as CA font (cryptical letter) in comments.
It is not easy eiter to get a nice look if you have both comments and variations
in the game.
If you have variations in the game and turn this of in print option, it still
shows this in between characters ([ ; ] etc.).

Another question

Since your frequently use of this CA-fonts in WEB export, it's also used on the
Convekta's site. Is it allowed to have this font as download or is the web
output only supposed to be viewed by CA users?

Please take your time with the next patch so you could get rid of this bug's,
but not so long as the CA 5.2 is taking (Isn't it 15 month since it was first
annonced).
