Don, On most systems, you will have a fonts: directory, which contains bit-map fonts used by your entire system. This directory is assigned during the running of your startup-sequence file on boot up. This directory is normally in the root of your hard drive, i.e. DH0:fonts. PPage and Pagesetter shipped with some 'bit-map fonts' (but I don't know why anyone would want to use them now-a-days) and depending on how one installs PPage or Pagesetter you may have placed them already in the assigned fonts: directory or had a new fonts: directory created in the PPage directory along with a icon you must double click on to 're-assign' fonts: to use only this new directory…wow! To simplify, if you want to use the bit-map fonts (for any application that uses bit-map fonts), they should be copied to your assigned system fonts directory, if you don't want't them any more you may want to delete them…but only the ones form PPAGe, deleting all bit-map fonts will cause you problems. If all you are using is PPage 2.1 or higher, the CGfont only requires the .lib, .metric, and .dat files. The .atc file was required for PPage 2.0 and Pagesetter II and may be removed. PDraw 3.0 also can access the CGFonts directly and you may wish to remove the .pdfont files from your PDRAW/Fonts directory. Finally, under older versions of PPage and Pagesetter (Ppage 2.0 and PageSetter II) a directory within the programs directory called CGCACHE was created and stored font info. This directory, along with a file called CGT may be removed. PPage users were given the opportunity to remove the CGCache when PPAGE 2.1 was installed. Any Questions? ;^) Philip Laitar Manager
