   I want to do changes to NeWS-fonts within a NeWS-session
   (using fontedit, bldfamily, dumpfont). My question is :
   how can I make the font change WITHOUT logging out ??
   As it is now, the font doesn't seem to change until I
   get out of NeWS and back again.

I think 'findfilefont' should do the trick for you. It takes the name
of a font file, reads it in, and returns the font. (Or something like
that. I don't have the manual on hand. It's used with
'enumeratefontdicts' in init.ps.)
