Yow!  I must've been in need of my morning coffee or something.

Christopher, cold boot with your modified 1.2 Kickstart and 1.2
Workbench.  Assign fonts: to ram:, then run the 1.3 Font Editor from
the Extras disk.  Load the Topaz/8 font (which was modified by
KickFont2) and Save As some other name.  Copy this font to SYS:fonts on
your 1.3 Workbench, then replace the stock call to FF in your 1.3
startup-sequence with FF -8 yournewfontname.font.  Finally, cold boot
1.3.  That font you liked so much will be back where it belongs - and
in a supported manner, too.
