  The 132 col fonts would have to replace the 80 col fonts supplied with
JR-Comm.  I did a bit of fiddling with the fonts themselves to allow for the
graphics characters and inverse equivelents to reside in four sets of 256
character fonts.

  As for not telling anyone else not to use it, I can see your point, but
I also feel that having such an inferior looking font there only gives
the opposition something to harp on about the Amiga.

  I've got nothing against putting it in, I'm just concerned with it
looking good.
