Snip (now TSnip) has been able to use a different font for a couple of versions now. The fontname was given on the command line. V1.4 has a control panel you can pop up with a string gadget to change the font name at any time. I use it all the time with Pearl/8, ST/8, Erics/8, and some other 8x8 fonts... but for me it's moot in VT100, mine (2.8) has the old broken font option for which I've lost the fix. V1.4 should be on PLink soon, and I guess I should send it to Bob Page -- is there a special mailing address for sending sources or binaries?
