I had a similar problem until someone pointed out to me that the fonts
must be available to the system both at *boot* time (when GDOS loads)
and at *run* time.  This means that the directory containing the
fonts, named in the assign.sys file, must be available to GDOS when *it*
loads, and available when you launch DEGAS.


Signature follows.  Hit 'n' now.  You have been warned!
