You probably want to check out StripFonts. I posted it to comp.sys.mac.digest and comp.binaries.mac a week ago and it's not showed up; maybe something about the way I posted it confused the news software. You can get it via anonymous ftp from veronica.cs.wisc.edu; cd src/stripfonts. There's a readme there as well. >=================== >Carl Lim >MIT '92 >cklim@athena.mit.edu -- Jim Elliott "Like a bridge he'll come between us, not a wall" elliott@veronica.cs.wisc.edu -- MSEN Archive Service file verification veronica.cs.wisc.edu total 207 -rw-r--r-- 1 elliott 6694 Jun 15 17:31 Readme -rw-r--r-- 1 elliott 32076 Jun 14 20:16 StripFonts-unix.shar -rw-r--r-- 1 elliott 161571 Jun 14 16:10 StripFonts.hqx found stripfonts ok veronica.cs.wisc.edu:/src/stripfonts/
