Well, if you have 2 Amigas and a Digi-View or Live! digitizer, you use Dpaint to display them on the first Amiga, point the camera at the screen, and digitize them. Or there is an easier way, create them in Dpaint (or any other graphic) and load the brush in (Yes Larry, IFF – BTW, we use standard clipboard, and Kris just informed me that he saves IFF there, so you 'can' transfer IFF from one program to another (That is if the others use the system clipboard) Anyway, back to the System Fonts. Dpaint (or other paint program capable of saving IFF brushes) can be used, or you can open a graphic window in the WP, select the system font, size, attributes, etc, type in the text, and then it becomes a (n) IFF brush to place in the text. Not elegant I agree, but useful for titles, etc. Bri
