This person had the same question that I asked before ... I believe the question is that he has the fonts from R2 that he wants to stick in R3. I just happen to discover that the fonts directories have files called fonts.alias and fonts.dir (or something like that). Just stick the fonts you want to use in that directory and edit those files to contain the names of the new fonts you want installed. I used the "misc" directory -- there are fonts in there that you can use as an example. Hint: move the .snf fonts there. Note, at the top of the file is a number which lists the number of fonts in that directory (or at least, listed in that file). You need to increment that number for each new font. Finally, you need to restart your server if you're running it. If there's an easier way than what I just described here, please *post it*.. I made this same request to this newsgroup 3 times and never got a reply either to the group or to my mail address... Dan Heller
