 I just downloaded the file Fonts1.0 from nova.cc.purdue.edu, and now I can't access them. Whenever I try to select one from the font panel, I get "font unavailable". In order to clear up what might be wrong, this is what I did:
  
1) I changed the Makefile so that it installed the fonts in NextLibrary/Fonts. Is this the source of my problems? 
2) I typed make install2.0 from the shell as directed.

Any replies would be welcome.

MY second question deals woth 16Meg simms. Does anyone know current prices for them? I've got a 200mb station that doesn't want to toy around with those 4 meg jobs. Actually, I was just wondering if it were llikely that thier prices would fall soon. 

Finally, a comment. I see the NeXT mentioned often in the mac and Amiga users groups. It's really caused a stir in other parts of the computer world (this is coming from an unbiased observer :).
