[comp.sys.atari.st] System fonts help

bob@wiley.UUCP (03/30/87)

I have a monochrome display and want to use the smaller system fonts
in a GEM application that I'm writing. I have tried to modify the
line A parameter block so that it points to one of the other fonts, but
that seems to have no effect. Is there a limitation to how those fonts
are used? Could someone tell me the right way to use the smaller fonts?

Try using vst_point with the point size = 1.  It should use the next size
font, which _should_ be the 6 x 6 font.
