Thanks Caty, you are an absolute Gem! bootman65's modified fonts work: see screenshot "make a u turn" ...but... as part of that solution involved setting fonts in gmxt to "small" (Tools; Settings; Display; Fonts: Small), i thought i'd revert back to the unmodified fonts set on "small" (because my original setting was "medium") to see what would happen...and guess what?: see screenshot "driving on road". I reckon its better! Serves me right for looking for the hardest way to solve the problem in the first place. Maybe this will save someone else a bit of pain.
