[comp.sys.amiga] Questions about FF on WB1.3

erd@tut.cis.ohio-state.edu (Ethan R. Dicks) (10/26/88)

I have never used FF before, and I waould like to use it to replace the system
font.  The manual states that to change the system font, include the font name
as a command line argument... What is the syntax of that arguement?  I tried
all manner of words and punctuation to get it to work...

Assuming I move the Pearl font in to FONTS:, then run FixFonts (if necessary),
HOW do I specify to FF that I want to _use_ the Pearl font?


Thanks in advance,

	The correct syntax to change fonts (and speed up text) is:

		FF -0 Pearl.font

That shouls be all you need. (Assuming you have Pearl in your fonts: directory.)
