Now for the _REALLY_ simply solution. 1. Put all the font files in their correct directories ie: fonts:fish/17 2. Delete all the .font files in the fonts directory ie: delete fonts:#?.font 3. Run FixFonts from the WB1.3 system. This will completely rebuild the .font files to include all the point sizes you have. Two warnings: 1. This can take a _LONG_ time to do, so be patient. 2. It only works on 1.3, _NOT 1.2_!!
