Ok, I fixed it.  In the function that "rotated" the amiga fonts
for display along the y axis there was code like:

(something like the following...)

DisplayVertText(string,itext)
char *string;
struct IntuiText *itext;
{
	char c;
	int i,j;

	j = strlen(string);

	for (i=0; i<j; i++)
	{
		c = string[i];
		itext->IText = &c;

		[some other stuff...]

		PrintIText(...Itext...);
	}
}

I changed the 'char c;' to 'char c[2];' and forced an explicit
NULL into c[1].  This seems to have fixed the problem.


John.
