[TxMt] Font setting problems

Hello everyone,

I'm new to the group...I ABSOLUTELY LOVE TM. But I have one recurring problem that is starting to irritate me.

9 out of 10 times when I start Textmate, I get some (unknown) font that I don't want. Changing the font setting in preferences has NO effect. Anti-aliasing on/off seems to work, but changing the font does nothing.

But then 1 out of 10 times when I start it, TM uses my font setting and I'm a happy camper and afraid to ever close TM.

I've not spent a lot of time messing around trying to figure out the problem...I'm also new to Mac and feel like a fish out of water doing anything.

So I thought I'd ask if anyone knows what is going on...and how I can get TM to use my font choice all the time.

Thanks, John
