Well, I just wanted to point out that Pearl is merely Topaz 8 that's
been run through the standard 1.2 Font Editor (on the Workbench Extras
disk) without any additional hoo-ha involved.  I haven't tried your
procedure yet, but I'm willing to bet the same problem will occur with
another Topaz-style (8x8 pixel fixed-width) font.

Amiga hackers do it graphically, with lots of sound effects.
Amiga users do it with their gadgets and proportional sliders.
Aztec will do it, but only if you make it long.
Workbench users would do it, but they need .info first.
CLI users can't do it...they're stuck in their Shell.
Metacomco did it to us with AmigaDOS.
