[comp.windows.ms] Windows SDK Update Saga

sbarr@ic.sunysb.edu (Sanford L Barr) (06/06/90)

	I need to modify a .FON file for a project I'm doing.

	I had SDK 2.01 and found that FONTEDIT.EXE only understood
the old .FNT files.

	Albeit silly with 3.0 coming in a few weeks, I ordered the upgrade
to SDK 2.1 hoping that the font editor would understand the new .FON format.

	The SDK 2.1 upgrade arrived yesterday.. FONTEDIT is still braindead
(doesn't read .FON format).

	HELP! Could someone please tell me if there is a FONTEDIT
out there that understands .FON files?  Was there a second upgrade
to 2.11 (the SDK package only says 2.1)?  What did I miss?

Thanks.

Fontedit can not understand .FON files.  These files are the result
of a link and a resource-compile.  The only files you can edit with
Fontedit are .FNT files, which are the input to the above-mentioned
link/resource-compile.

	Now, is there a method of converting .FON files back into .FNT?

	(I tried to send this e-mail, but it looks as though our
sysadmins have overlooked installing patalias)
