With regard to Opus 2.2 ...

There appears to have been a problem in the GDOS font definitions for the
Courier (aka 'typewriter') fonts.  Evidently the font descriptor indicates it
is a 9-point font, while the font title indicates is is a 10-point font.  Two
fixes were suggested: (1) modify the font file using a hex editor or (2)
removing mention of the Typerwriter font style from ASSIGN.SYS.  I chose the
latter, and the font-width program supplied with Opus had no problems since.

(The GDOS fonts I have were probably from WordUp ... I have the original Atari
release via the Toolbox for Personal Pascal, and have had DEGAS Elite and other
sorts of GDOS fonts and drivers from various software packages since, so I no
longer can be sure where the fonts are from...)
