  Sorry to shoot you down, but I just tried this with a "STOCK" CBM 1.3 (RELEASE)
  workbench. And it worked perfectly! (#1) if your using the ">nil:" you wont
  see any messages (error or not) because their redirected. (#2) make sure your
  Amiga can find the font your trying to use - check the 'assign' of FONTS: and 
  also make sure that font actually works.

  Theres one on Fish #61 ;-)
