[duh dah duh dah duh dah duh dah (gulp)

Thanx Chuck, Leo, et all.  However, there is still a problem...how?

Like I stated, I have the Benchmark Modula-2 compiler, which comes with a huge
user's guide packed will all the definition modules and all the structure
definitions.  However, there is no mention of how to initialize said
structures, nor in what order.

I have a guide "Programming on the Amiga" (or something like that) by Sybex.  
It is written with C in mind.  Now there are lots of things different from
C in Modula-2, so this book is of limited help.

What I need is a step-by-step, basic description of HOW to load a font.
I'm not asking people to write the program for it (although, code fragments
are welcome), just guide me through the process for the first time.  This
brings me to an idea:  Is there such a guide out?  If not, how about a 
compilation from all you Amiga Masters out there for us poor apprentices?
Include C (and Modula code) for all those new owners out there that look at
the immense complexity before them with despair.  I just need a pointing hand
(or a helpful shove, kick in the right direction, hit over the head, and
other phrases) so that I can get over this brick wall in front of me.
