My friend is having trouble with Westlaw now that he updated to Panther. Apparently Safari doesn't work and IE gives funny fonts now with Panther.

Any lawyers out there running Panther with suggestions for the best browser to use with Westlaw?

I've always had to use Mozilla with Westlaw, I don't think Panther made any difference as far as Safari not working right. I vaguely remember there being some feature of westlaw that doesn't work on Mozilla/Netscape, but I haven't come across it lately.

In general, Mozilla seems to work with just about anything that Safari can't handle.

i've found Safari to have trouble with Westlaw (and OmniWeb for that matter) both are slow at frame set pages anyway... (I did email Westlaw support though, and they are considering/in the process of ensuring Safari compatibility)

Anyway, the best option out there right now is the latest Camino nightly build.... very fast, very compatible, no weird font things.
