I can't help you with the iMac, but -- thanks to you -- I have 5.1.2
running on a blue G3!!!  I posted with the same problem, got several
suggestions but yours was the one that worked!

Dang but I'm gonna miss that "Roswell" theme though.  I thought
Gadget made a nifty system font too.

The blue G3 is similar to the iMac in many ways... I wonder if the
difference between 5.1.1 and 5.1.2 includes support for MacOS 8.5.1
or the newer Mac hardware.  Have you tried running 5.5.6 on the iMac?

If you're ever in north Georgia, you have a standing offer for a
visit and beverage of choice. :-)

I need to figure out how to get to those Adobe technotes.  Oh well,
at least I can get back to work now.
