The GDOS font editor I mentioned in a previous posting is called FONZ. It supposedly can convert Mac and Amiga fonts to GDOS fonts, can scale GDOS fonts, and includes a font editor. At HT Electronics they had many disks full of GDOS fonts created with FONZ, including a bunch from the Mac. They said that HT Electronics was trying to find a distributor for the program, and did not know when it would be available. I didn't make it clear in my previous posting, but Atari's Microsoft Write does not include GDOS support for the Epson FX-80 printer. At HT Electronics they were using an FX-80 device driver and fonts from Easy Draw for output from Microsoft Write on a Star printer. This and the lack of a spelling checker sort of cripple Microsoft Write in my view. Karl Rowley rowley@orville.nas.nasa.gov ames!orville.nas.nasa.gov!rowley
