Over the last several months I have collected several Fonts. Now that I have done my own 512K upgrade (DDJ) I can finally start using a bunch of them. Unfortunatly it seems that after binhexing them, neither Font mover or f/DA mover recognize them. I probed some and found that the Type and Creator fields where not set. I set them to the same as font mover uses. Well thats not the end, it seems that all of them were saved as data not resources. I think if I could change something to make everbody think they were resources (twiddling with the file header) everything would be fine. Alas none of the tools Fedit RMover Resedit Redit, seem able to do this for me. Can anyone help? thanks david schuh !uwvax!geowhiz!schuh

Your fonts are apparently stored in the "old" font/DA mover format. This required some sort of strange software to make it work. I don't know any more than that. Mike McNally SMU mike@smu ...convex!smu!mike

The old Font Mover format is the same as the new one just a different
creator:
old: creator FMOV type FFIL
new: creator DMOV type FFIL
DA's: creator DMOV type DFIL
You can use setfile to change it, or shift click the file, shift click
the Font/DA Mover and use the open under the file menu.--
