The manual that comes with Enhancer (AmigaDOS) v1.3 discusses fonts, which reminded me that I never really understood them very well. On page 6-3, it says: "When the system finds a specially designed italic font, it will use it instead of trying to create its own." But I have never been able to organize my FONTS: directories so as to get this feature to work! Suppose I have designed a 14-point normal Roman font, and a 14-point italic Roman font. What filenames do I give these? Do I put them both in the Roman directory? Is there anything special I need to do to the Roman.font file in order to indicate that there are two different 14-point font styles available on disk? Do programs like Notepad and ProWrite know what to do in such cases?
