As best I can recall, they suggested that you use an extra rastport to read info about the user-selected font, and write your code to handle the attributes it finds there. There was something different about the way you were to code in order to allow for proportional fonts. Shall I look it all up again, or shall we wait for AmiTRANSACTOR #4?

I have the DevCon notes, so I'll take a look at them when I get the time, and leave you with what would Indeed make a nice article topic (or have you already written it? if so, I'll just wait on #4 :-). As I mentioned to James, I'm not totally against the idea, I'd just like to see good support for it at the system level to lessen the grunt work / overhead.

I wrote a bit about what the DevCon notes SAY. I did not do much more than collect the various pieces from several parts of the notes and tie them together. The information is scattered over three or four sections, as I recall.
