Assuming that the font is in a regular Amiga font file, then the program
"FF" supplied with 1.3 will replace the topaz font with it if you choose.
The command "FF -0 myfont.font" will replace the Topaz 8 and 9 pixel fonts
with 8 and 9 pixel versions from the myfont font. If you have problems with
this you should be aware that some fonts don't have all the bits set correctly
in their structures. The easiest way to correct this is to use the FixFont
program first, an then use the font editor (FED) to read in the font and
then _save_ it out again. That should make it into a completely legal font.

Try setting the stack to 25000. That is what the original SHAR by Wecker 
required.
