[xcrysden] properties of fonts

[Jian-Xin Zhu]

Dear Prof. Kokalj and XCryDen Users,

I tried to open the link

http://www.xcrysden.org/

but got the following

ERROR

The requested URL could not be retrieved

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://www.xcrysden.org/

The following error was encountered:

Connection to 212.235.213.51 Failed
The system returned:

The remote host or network may be down. Please try the request again.

Your cache administrator is squid at lanl.gov.

Is this a problem with the firewall or proxy in our institute?


Thanks,

Jian-Xin Zhu
