WOMBAT IN TEST MODE  Hmm, ugly fontface in the display (which should look like an "old" calculator), Its a harm to the eye. Anyway, the developer noticed that and created a preference to switch to another font which is ugly to and less an improvement. So if he is reading this, give me the choice of choosing any font.

Beside this drawbacks, a nice app like DragThing (resize if behind is good)..., compared to Apples own calculator its a win which cannot update the currency database since months... One last thing: I do not understand why there is a comma right of the last right digit. Also kind of strange.

CLANCEY  I didn't understand anything you were complaining about after the ugly font statement. Can you make it a little more clear.

DIGITAL_DREAMER  The "font" you refer to is not really a font that can be selected from the open/activated fonts installed on your system. This is a custom typeface created just for display on the calculator.
