Ethan:
Are you sure about the CGfonts files being the same? I don't think they
are as the PageStream ones are in 1 or 2 files (per font) I think while the
GD versions are in more (fontname.DAT fontname.LIB fontname.ATC). I might
be wrong, as I only looked at the PgS versions for about 5 minutes, however
I was refering to not only the file formats, but where the programs look
for the fonts as well. Most programs that use standard Amiga bitmapped
fonts look for the fonts in the FONTS: directory, and it would be nice if
the CGFONTS: could be the directory that programs will default to for
Compugraphic fonts. For all I know, C= when (if) they do Compugraphics like
they're supposedly doing might also use the CGFONTS: convention to look for
the fonts, and it'd be nice if PageStream wasn't such a selfish program.
