	For those of you following the FastFonts Fun problem, here is the 
solution.  A number of you guessed incorrectly due to my own fault, of not
writing down the directories correctly.  What my problem was is much stranger.
	Until yesterday, I had never bothered looking at the program FixFonts
on my 1.3.  I assumed (incorrectly) that it was a user friendly way of
transferring fonts, kind of like installPrinter.  Well, it's not.  Apparently,
you have to run it after you install a new font on your systems disk.  Just
once, and then the font is ready to use.  I could read this font from a program,I just couldn't use it with FF until I had run fixfonts.  
	Sorry to waste people's time.  I should have read my manual a little
more closely.  I just got on the wrong track trying to solve the problem and
had a difficult time thinking non-linearly.
