Well, here's a hint on how to change Workbench's font from Topaz-80 to
whatever (I don't know how to change fonts in AmigaBasic, I use a REAL
language, C :-)

Anyway, I use a program called 'TurboTopaz' (on fish disk 396). It
is a text speed-up program (better than FF supplied with WB1.3 :-), but
by suppling a filename, you can specify another 8x8 font to use instead of Topaz-80 ('NicerTopaz' is a font supplied with TurboTopaz. It is a
san-serif font (ie, has no 'dangly' bits on the capital letters, like 
Helvetica font), unlike topaz-80 (a serif font, like Times)). So, if you
have a 8x8 non-proportional font you like, just load TurboTopaz like this:
(assuming your font is called Blah.font, in fonts:   ).
turbotopaz blah.font.
This willl change the font used for all programs which use the
normal 8x8 font for output.
