[comp.sys.amiga] FF

I just got 1.3 and I really like it.  However, when I tried to 
ff clean.font
I received the message: can't load clean.font
clean.font has sizes 8 and 9, and I used fixfonts before i tried it, so
why will this not work?

I know, I know!!!

You didn't really try
ff clean.font
did you?

You did ff clean.font   ; start FastFonts
didn't you?

Well, FastFonts doesn't parse the command line too well, and doesn't
strip off the trailing blanks from "clean.font     ". 

You can handle this, by just removing the characters on the line after "clean.font."

I just tried this, and it didn't work, because I don't have clean.font.  I use
siesta.font (from the Microsmiths, Inc. release of FastFonts), and this bit me.

Experiment from the command line, then try to get your startup-sequence working.

Well, I did something.  I had tried it from the CLI originally, but from
within a shell.  I quit the shell and tried it... no go.  I got different
errors though.
font can't be proportional
font not proper width
I loaded both clean 8 and clean 9 into fed. It says that they are fixed width.
It also says that they are the proper size.  What now?

Resave them, then reboot the machine and try again.
