Is it a bug???? >Should I report this??? I don't know exactly what the differences are, but I did discover the following - FixFonts does *nothing* if booted from KS1.2. I guess that they check the version of the DiskFontLibrary and if it is not high enough, the program exits without complaining. If has to be run from KS1.3. I hope this helps a bit. If not try and limit the causes more and then ask one of the guys from C=.
