As a matter of fact, Jason – you only have to store the font header on the disk, and that header can contain the path to the place where the actual font is. When I was using only floppies, I had the headers for dozens of fonts on my WB, taking up very little space, but each telling me which disk to insert for a particular font. There is even a program in Library 11 called REN.??? that lets you set up a whole directory of fonts this way with a single command. This works on Amiga fonts. I believe that the CGfonts do not have headers of this type, so it would not work on them. Betty
