Howdy. I submitted those fonts and the accompanying ASSIGN.SYS file.
I put in the opening comments "This file was written for use with
G+Plus" ... I've never tried to use it with Atari's GDOS, so that'd
be the first thing I would suspect.

I guess my advice to you is to merge what's in the provided file with
the ASSIGN.SYS you've already been using. The CodeHead guys included a
file GDOS.DOC with their stuff that describes the ins'n'outs of writing
an ASSIGN.SYS file. I think it's freely distributable, I'll send it to
you (or post) if you want.
