	Well, I broke Dpaint with every font on my Amiga.  This
includes all the fonts in a vanilla FONTS: directory, plus "pearl"
font which sounds exactly like your "block" font -- Topaz without
serifs.

	Since other people have verified my bug, my guess is that
DPaint is doing something non-standard, assuming Topaz font in its
invoking CLI, and your "block" font is so similar to Topaz that DPaint
doesn't notice a difference.
