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?

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. James Bayless New Horizons Software, Inc.
