yes it works! I use helvetica 14pt and now everything's fine. Thanks! :D

here is the newest preview if you want it for reference.. http://img386.imageshack.us/my.php?im...ure1nc9.png

it happens everytime. It's normal in the preview though (message prefpane). Hmm.. it's totally weird and oh, it happens to my buddy too (that one in the screen shot is coincident, i don't even know why but from now on, that happens to my buddy too.

it's still like that. I tried to restart adiumx, change the message style and then go back, it still looks like that. I tried to re-install again and no improvements..

oops sorry, I thought you were giving the solution for my problem, up there.. my bad.
