Can anybody help? Fire up the Commodore 1.3 Font Editor. Load the Pearl 8 font, and resave it. FastFonts should now be able to use the Pearl font. The reason why this works is that the 1.2 Font Editor incorrectly set some status bits in the font description (which ones escape me now) and 1.3 sets them properly. FastFonts is less than forgiving about the status bits being set incorrectly. --M -- Michael Portuesi * Information Technology Center * Carnegie Mellon University INTERNET: mp1u+@andrew.cmu.edu * BITNET: mp1u+@andrew UUCP: ...harvard!andrew.cmu.edu!mp1u+ MAIL: Carnegie Mellon University, P.O.
