[comp.lang.pascal] Stroke Font Editor FE

lopes@cogsci.ucsd.EDU (alann lopes) (11/13/90)

   Hello netland, I've been attempting to use the stroke font editor
   FE that is found at Simtel20. Everything appears to work fine until
   I try to load a file that was saved by FE in a previous editing
   session. When loading I get the message "bad signature in file" and
   nothing is loaded.

   Has anyone had this problem? Am I doing something stupid? If this
   is a BUG is there a version that works? 

                Thanks very much -- alann

I don't know 'bout working versions, but I've got a "font header fix-up
utility". After the font file is saved by FE you only run that program
which corrects the signature. If you want it, just drop me a note.

btw. If you examine good and bad font files you'll surely find out soon
     what is wrong. ;-)
