After using SetFont to get a nice looking font for my Amy, I start prefs up.
Just to twiddle a bit, you now. I exit, and ZAAP, the nice font I ordered
earlier is gone in the titlebar of all my windows.
Is this NICE ??

The point is, that noone notices if the screen font changes. So Preferences tells workbench that it has a 60/80-character screen and workbench installs the default font name "topaz". For the font is only refered to in the Screen, but used in some RastPorts (TextAttr against TextFont), Workbench closes sometimes our font (that was installed via setfont). Sometimes our font is closed too often. The results are mysterious and the guru is near. Now, I just change the windows font, and there are no problems.

The FastFonts program (included with 1.3 so it is really "supported" gets around this by patching up the system font list so the OS thinks the font you want to use is named topaz. That is, if you do "FF -1 pearl.font", whenever you use topaz.font in a program you'll get pearl, and vice versa. -- Stephen Walton, Dept. of Physics & Astronomy, Cal State Univ.
