I hadn't thought that point out, but you're right — that could be 'real
fun'. I'd just like to be able to use fonts other than 8×8 as the system
font. I really don't care much about proportional, but I'm sure others
will.
They were especially insistent that users be able to use fonts larger than
8 point, since the high resolution screens don't look all that great with
the 8 point fonts, and most people prefer at least 11 points for hi res.
You can get FastFonts to work with the TOPAZ11 font, but need to do
something to force topaz11 into memory first. Doing something like SetFont
in your Startup-Sequence prior to running FF will do, then use "FF -1" to
get the text speedup on the TOPAZ11 font as well as on the 8 point font-
