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. -Mike Schiller In sunny Fort Lauderdale
