How can I change the Workbench fonts? And how can I use fonts in a basic
program?

Well, here's a hint on how to change Workbench's font from Topaz-80 to whatever (I don't know how to change fonts in AmigaBasic, I use a REAL language, C :-) Anyway, I use a program called 'TurboTopaz' (on fish disk 396). It is a text speed-up program (better than FF supplied with WB1.3 :-), but by suppling a filename, you can specify another 8x8 font to use instead of Topaz-80 ('NicerTopaz' is a font supplied with TurboTopaz. It is a san-serif font (ie, has no 'dangly' bits on the capital letters, like Helvetica font), unlike topaz-80 (a serif font, like Times)). So, if you have a 8x8 non-proportional font you like, just load TurboTopaz like this: (assuming your font is called Blah.font, in fonts: ). turbotopaz blah.font. This willl change the font used for all programs which use the normal 8x8 font for output. >=============================================================================== > ***** # Gelson Dias Santos # > /\/\ ** # BITNET: GELSON@SBU.UFRGS.ANRS.BR # Please, don't look my > ! 0 0 ! _ ! # Porto Alegre - RS CEP:90650 # I am learning english ! > ! ^^ !

In AmigaBasic, just look at the program "library" in the BasicDemos on your Extras disk. If you want to use other fonts than Topaz, then simply exchange the function OpenFont by OpenDiskFont (don't forget this also at the beginning in the DECLARE command) and add the statement LIBRARY "diskfont.library" -- Best regards, Dr. Peter Kittel // E-Mail to \\ Only my personal opinions...
