Is there a way to add different fonts to AWGS? I have a lot of them from Multiscribe, TimeOut SuperFonts, Fontrix, etc. and would like to use them with AWGS and don't know how. I recently switched to a GS and would like to use as much of my //e stuff as possible. Also, I can't read the screen when using Multiscribe. Any ideas. Thanks. ---- ProLine: sarahk@pro-applephelia Internet: sarahk@pro-applephelia.cts.com UUCP: crash!pro-applephelia!sarahk ARPA: crash!pro-applephelia!sarahk@nosc.mil

If they are Apple //GS font files then you can use them. Just put the files in the folder /system/fonts on the system disk you boot Applework GS from (or on the hard drive if you are booting from there) and then reboot and the fonts will be loaded in and ready to use, but they have to be in GS font format.

Yes. AWGS will use any IIgs style fonts that are in the folder
*/SYSTEM/FONTS (where * is the boot disk). The fonts that TimeOut
SuperFonts uses are exactly the same as IIgs fonts; all you have to do
is put them in the right place. I'm not sure what formats the other 2
programs use.

I don't think you can use the fonts from MultiScribe for the //e with any of your GS desktop applications. TimeOut SuperFonts, however, use the same format, and all you have to do is drop them into your Fonts folder (which is found inside your System folder on the boot disk). Try hitting Control-Apple-Esc and select the Control Panel. Then go up to Display (hit Return) and hit the left arrow key until it reads "Monochrome" beside Type:. That will turn the GS monitor into a monochrome //e screen, which is probably what you're used to. \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ | Brian T.
