The GDOS font editor I mentioned in a previous posting is called FONZ.
It supposedly can convert Mac and Amiga fonts to GDOS fonts, can scale 
GDOS fonts, and includes a font editor.  At HT Electronics they had 
many disks full of GDOS fonts created with FONZ, including a bunch from
the Mac.  They said that HT Electronics was trying to find a distributor for
the program, and did not know when it would be available.

I didn't make it clear in my previous posting, but Atari's Microsoft
Write does not include GDOS support for the Epson FX-80 printer.  At 
HT Electronics they were using an FX-80 device driver and fonts from
Easy Draw for output from Microsoft Write on a Star printer.  This and
the lack of a spelling checker sort of cripple Microsoft Write in my
view.
