I have MacX 1.0.1 and I'm trying to compile BDF fonts.
The BDF fonts all have contents that are uppercase and 
begin with a "STARTFONT" statement.  They come from
Asterix (by Applix).  

MacX seems to eat fonts.  After it starts compiling it 
fails and claims that the font has a "BAD STARTFONT statement"
This is not the case.  It also leaves the font as a 0 byte
file after it's done compiling.  I also tried locking the
font file so that MacX wouldn't be able to delete the contents
but to no avail.  The compilation fails with a "Unable to write"
error.

Anyone else have this experience?  Anybody know what I'm
doing wrong?

Thanks,

Timothy Chiu
