	I believe I've tracked down a new bug in Deluxe Paint II.
Could somebody please try to reproduce it?

	Basically, the problem is this:  if you invoke DPaint from
the CLI, and that CLI is using a font other than Topaz, DPaint
crashes when you exit.

	Reproduce:

		Warm boot on vanilla Amiga
		Open a CLI
		Change font from Topaz to anything else.  I use
		 the "setfont" program; i.e., "setfont ruby".
		Invoke DPaint.
		Exit DPaint.
		<CRASH!>

If you don't crash on exit, you should at least notice that your CLI
font has "disappeared"; that is, characters don't echo at all, or they
echo garbage.  If so, invoke DPaint again, exit again, and you will
crash.

Can anyone else verify this?  Could it somehow be attributed to the
"Setfont" program?  Thanks!
