With HS and iSilo, why do you use Plucker?

I use Plucker for several reasons:
a) I have problems setting the correct fonts in iSilo, but no problems in Plucker (could just be my incompetence)
b) I like the ability to mark a regular clip as launchable from the PDA's launcher application
c) iSilo keeps defaulting to showing icons and scroll bars, while I normally prefer full screen view
d) Plucker will show me which links I've already visited
e) The HandStory viewer seems to be less configurable than either Plucker or iSilo. I set mine up so that I can go back by depressing the jog wheel, with HandStory I think you can only configure the buttons, and I prefer to leave them for launching particular applications

Weather: why don't you use Alexander's link to Wunderground weather? I use it, and it works fine.

I'll have a look at this. For weather I mostly use the BBC 5-day forecast for my own locality and the forecasts on WorldMate. But I occasionally look at the OnlineWeather forecasts. The thing is that the AvantGo download from OnlineWeather gives me forecasts for a very large number of British towns and cities, and sometimes I don't know where I might be interested in before I leave home in the morning.

I haven't tried any alternative fonts on my Clie, but I used them a lot on my Visor. The default fonts on the Clie are rather too skinny for my liking, but I get round that by having Interpilot Czech or Russian activated all the time, including when I'm reading stuff in English. If you do that, the default font changes to one which is nicer to look at and more legible. The only problem is that words with French or German accents on get mangled - Interpilot converts the letters with accents/diacritics into Russian or Czech characters. I haven't tried Piloc. Does it have the same effect?
Is FontHack 123 generally worth using? Which fonts would you recommend?
