color scheme themes and font choices are all personal, but i went with a bitmap font (ProFont 9pt) and the BBEdit theme (because I prefer dark text on a light background)

ProFont can be found here:

note that 9pt bitmap is not as small as it sounds:

If you’ve installed stuff that now won’t uninstal, claiming instead that unwise.exe cannot find install.log then this will help:

Don’t know what causes it, but you can open a command prompt box, (run cmd) go to the directory where the app you want to uninstall resides and see if there’s an unwise.exe file. Also, check to see that the INSTALL.LOG file exists. (If it doesn’t then that means that it has been deleted or something in which case your best bet is to install the app again and try uninstalling it afterwards)

Then all you have to do is type:

unwise INSTALL.LOG

and the app will be uninstalled… (you will then have to type ‘exit’ to close the command prompt box and may have to delete the directory manually.
