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.
