Question #1: Can I register my new ProFonts program here?
Question #2: I just tried to use the System Mover to load the fonts onto my
ProWrite 3.0 system disk. I can't get past the software failure, it gurus
every time. I thought that maybe I should boot with the workbench, but it
still does the same thing. I loaded the system disk, then the ProFonts.
Selected the System Mover icon, and I get an error message then guru. Can
you please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Im afraid that you sent your message to the wrong person. I think you
ment it for 76004,2021.
You will need to send in your registration card in order to register your
purchase.
This is the first I've heard of System Mover crashing. Are you using
Kickstart 1.3 or 2.0? Are you booting with ProWrite's System disk or some
other disk (or a hard disk)? Also, you might try using the version of
System Mover that comes with ProWrite–it's in the ProWrite Utilities
drawer of the System disk–since it is a little newer.

James,
Thanks for the reply. I have since found the system mover in ProWrite.
Was called away before I got the chance to use it. By the time I get to sit
at the amiga I've put in at least a 10 hour day, so I have to grab what
time I can get and hope for the best. Practice time is precious. I did boot
first with Workbench 1.3, then I thought I should try the PW Sys disk. I
got nothing from either. Except of course, guru.
I just recently purchased a Citizen GSX 140 printer. I was hoping to add
the new fonts from ProFonts to ProWrite. Any suggestions or opinions?
Thanks, Jacquie
Jacquie,
I'm not familiar with that particular printer, but I assume it is Epson
compatible. Generally, to get the best results with ProWrite in graphics
printing, you should turn off "Aspect Adjusted" in the Page Setup
requester, turn on "Smooth" in the Print requester, and use a font that
consists primarily of vertical, horizontal, or 45 degree strokes (45 degree
lines always smooth perfectly, other angles are not smoothed quite as
well). There should be several fonts in the ProFonts packages that fit the
bill.
If your printer supports high print densities (over 160 by 144 dpi), you
can also set ProWrite for 50% reduction at a high print density, and type
in double-size fonts. For example, use a 20 point font instead of a 10
point one. This will give you in great results.
