I read in S.A.L.A.D. (Still Another Line A Document) that user fonts could
be installed in the ST be putting them at the beginning of a list of fonts
stored at the line-A variable FONT_RING.

The problem:
	I installed a font there, but the VDI didn't want to switch to it
with the vst_font() call.  Does anyone know how to do this properly?  I don't
want to have to require GDOS with my program, but I want to be able to use
the same fonts.

		Thanks,

		Steve
