A different question on the same font. Why won't FastFonts recognize
Pearl? The only note in the manual on the subject of usable fonts is
"..it must have the same dimensions, style, and baseline as the standard
TOPAZ fonts."

Well, if Pearl is just a cleaned up Topaz, what's the problem? Or is
something about Pearl greatly different from Topaz? I have the same
problem with the Clean font that was posted a few weeks back.

Yes, the fonts are properly installed in the fonts directory on my
Workbench disk. But when I run FastFonts, none of the new fonts show up
in the font selection boxes.

The nice thing about FastFonts is that it changes ALL text in the system
to the new font, WB menus and everything. However, I'm not too fond of
the new fonts that come with FastFonts. Most of them are cute, but not
terribly readable.

I'd like to be able to use these fonts with FastFonts, can anyone help?
Is Charlie Heath on the net?
