   The reason for problems with FastFont is simple.  Although the CBM

   that it does not.  Simply specify the path, and FF will then find your font.
   To load PEARL, just incant "FF fonts:pearl.font" and it'll work.

This is quite repeatable, and I assure you that dinky.font is in my
fonts: directory since my .cshrc sets it...... I'm using the following
setup: NEWCON:, MachII v2.5, GOMF 2.0, and Dillon's cshell v2.10 (I'll
hopefully buy wshell pretty soon, though I wish there would be
something that would work with the 1.3 resident commands and yet not
be lame). Would that make a difference?
