OK, Ariel, FontFix can do the job, but only with a bit of help. I just combined two fonts, then made the font header think they were all one. That should be pretty close to what you want to do. Step 1 – Copy your fonts to Ram:, getting the sizes all together: Makedir ram:fonts Makedir ram:fonts/fontname Copy pathname fontname/#? ram:fonts/fontname(original file) Copy pathname fontname/#? ram:fonts/fontname (new size) Step 2 – Copy path/fontname.font ram:fonts/something.font (original .font) copy path/fontname.font ram:fonts/somethingelse.font (new .font) CD to RAM: Step 3 – Join something.font somethingelse.font as fontname.font Step 4 – Fontfixer ram:fonts/fontname Then, copy your font back to the place where you want it. This worked for me, and I was putting together two totally unrelated fonts, just making sure they had different sizes. Oh – when it asked if I wanted to delete files from the Font, I just said "N". And then it added instead of deleting. I did some piddling with Filezap that I don't think will be necessary, but if this doesn't work, please let me work on it some more. I'm inordinately fond of this kind of thing.
