I assume this is the correct newsgroup....

I am trying to write a program which will change the fonts on 
the console device of a CLI process.   I am doing this to learn,
so getting a binary would be little help.   I have tried the
following attempts:

Open a font
change the following Rastports with Setfont

IntuitionBase->FirstWindow->RastPort
IntuitionBase->ActiveWindow->RPort
GfxBase->DefaultFont

I have gotten the font for the title bar to change (looks strange in
emerald 12! ), but I have not been able to change the font in the
window. I tested by doing a printf after setting the fonts.

Is there an example out there?  I know someone has done this, I keep
hearing about a 'setfont' command, but I am lost right now.

Thanks much

Brian
