Is there any way I can get more fonts for Autodesk Animator V 1.01? If so, where can I find them. Is there an utility that allows me to create my own fonts? Any help on this will be greately appreciated.

Armando, Autodesk Animator does not support additional fonts. Autodesk Animator Pro supports the use of Adobe type one fonts. To find a dealer of AAPRO in your area, call 800 -964-6432 -brian

>Autodesk Animator does not support additional fonts. About six months after I got Autodesk Animator 1.01, I received a package in the mail from autodesk. It was called "Bonus Pack" and it was a bunch of additional fonts for Animator on two 720kb floppies. They installed and worked fine. ( the number on the disk is 1959-D7-AN-BSF-V ) David Camp

I consider those bonus fonts part of the package. What I meant to say is that you can not import fonts (like adobe fonts or truetype fonts) into Animator. However in Animator Pro you do have the capability to import adobe fonts so you have a virtually unlimited supply. -Brian

Ok, I wasn't sure. but after rereading your original post and trying to think back ( 1992 is ancient history) I realized that the fonts you listed included those on the bonus pack. I didn't mean to imply that you were wrong, I just wanted to point out what I thought, at the time, was a discrepancy. Thanks David

Brian: >> "Catch the Autodesk Technician in a Wrong Answer". The game would be a lot more fun if all of you would play more often! It's so seldom that we see any errors from you that it gets boring! Greg Pyros

Nik I only have about 14 or 15 fonts. You have a lot more. Did those came with your software or you receive those after you bought Animator? these are the fonts I have: VELVET14 FNT 3,408 02-02-89 5:37p ARCHP36 FNT 21,658 06-30-88 12:20p SUPBOL32 FNT 10,666 06-12-89 10:17p POST54 FNT 42,636 02-02-89 12:49p DECO48 FNT 16,562 06-30-88 12:19p BLOCK20 FNT 15,766 06-19-88 9:04a ELVET24 FNT 8,212 02-02-89 5:37p WEST36 FNT 8,122 06-19-88 9:05a EARLY14 FNT 7,554 06-19-88 9:05a ARMY24 FNT 6,992 02-04-89 12:10p SUPBOL22 FNT 5,978 11-20-85 12:02a ARCHP14 FNT 4,706 06-30-88 12:20p DECO24 FNT 4,050 06-30-88 12:19p WINDY18 FNT 2,838 11-20-85 12:02a SYSTEM FNT 1,754 09-05-88 1:24a WINDY11 FNT 1,250 11-20-85 12:02a WEST10 FNT 1,262 06-19-88 9:05a SCIFI08 FNT 1,370 11-20-85 12:01a 18 file(s) 164,784 bytes

They came after, as a bonus disk. See your mail for more info.

Would you mind to zip them up and upload them (if allowed) ??? I thought I was complete but the second directory had some interesting names buried… -M
