I have SNAP on my A3000, but have only been able to get it to work correctly
with the default topaz font.  I have read the documentation and looked at
the source (not much help being a new Amiga owner), but have seen no indication
of restrictions on the fonts that can be used.  The problem is under 2.0 and
I seem to remember it was also under 1.3.

I like the courier 13 font for my shells, but SNAP seems to randomly fail to
start the little tracking window.  In some cases, if it does encircle the text,
pasting results in garbage.

I would love to use SNAP, but don't want to be forced to use certain fonts.
Any help would be appreciated.
