In the course of message swapping w/ a Spectrum Holobyte rep in GAMPUB,it was mentioned that VETTE! for the Amiga is being cancelled due to lack of a developer.The code itself is rumored to be finished,but needs to finalized.Supposedly,the guy who did the bulk of the work is now gone.My…
Pen Pal Fonts
Message #35143
I'm having trouble installing new fonts in Pen Pal. It seems that after I assign the fonts to my disk full of fonts, the requester recognizes the names of the new fonts, but when I actually use them, I get dropped to the bottom of the page, changing the colors…
Hello..I have a question/suggestion fr the animation contest.Is it possible that in the future there will be separate catagories for the different levels of Amiga systems?The average Amiga user cannot possibly compete with the type of systems some of the pros are using.This would give the contest a little more…

Well, what fonts are you using? Workbench fonts and Zuma fonts look bad to me. I agree that CG fonts look great and the ultimate solution is more RAM, but until my 4meg Baseboard arrives, I'm stuck.
#HP Laser and fonts
Message #32035
I have a 1 meg A500 and an HP Laserjet IIP. Unfortunately, the quality of the text that I am able to print is terrible. What looks decent on 24 pin fades on a laser. Even Pro Page leaves much to be desired. (Not enough memory for extended use of…

SB Pro and charting
Message #14756
JP, How about exporting to Can Do? It has some decent graphing and supports AREXX. I'll have to grab a copy off our shelf and see if it'll work well. Thanks for the assist. Chris
