One cute feature in AmigaOS that I have discovered is it desperately wants to
assign FONTS to something and not too particular about what it is. Is you
delete the fonts directory from your workbench disk and reboot Fonts will be
assigned to the first xxxx:Fonts directory that comes accross. In my case my
telcom directory has a fonts directory. I wondered why the telcom icon never
dissapeard when I ejected the disk. I then noticed that FONTS had been
automagicly assigned to Telcom:fonts
