I want to edit fonts, fixedwidth as well as prop.
When I use fed, that came on my Extras disk, and save
the fonts, they get so garbled up that no program, not
even fed itself, can load them in again. And, thats
whethere I edit an existing or create a new one(so it seems)
If I have understood this correctly, the following is the
reason: Whenever changes to a font is made, the above save
affects the <pitchnumber-file> in the directory named <font>.
But the file <font>.font needs updating too. And this is
where FixFonts comes in. I am sure I have seen it on ab20.larc
nasagov., but it has dissappeared, probably in the tidying
that happened a short while ago. It was just after the tidying,
I found out what FixFonts was for(?). So, would some kind soul
either tell where anonymous ftp might reach it, or uuencode and
E-mail it to me ? I assume it is public domain.
Thanks in advance,

Funny, my version of fed (from 1.3) works. >reason: Whenever changes to a font is made, the above save >affects the <pitchnumber-file> in the directory named <font>. >But the file <font>.font needs updating too.

Perhaps it was really there and someone told them that it is a copyrighted, Commodore-owned program. -- Best regards, Dr. Peter Kittel // E-Mail to \\ Only my personal opinions...

I burned my Amiga500 real bad, by having inserted a 2Meg expansion wrongly. The Commodore Repair Center said, amongst other things, that the Kickstart ROM was dead, and had to be replaced. They asked me if I wanted 1.2 or 1.3, since the price was the same.(I believe the numbers are 1.2 and 1.3, as I tend to confuse WB and kickstart version numbers). So I have 1.3 kickstart, but no new workbench disks. I guess I'll buy it, if it's any good. Sorry for any confusion made by this. -- From the notorious Jakob Gaardsted, Computer Science Department Bed og arbejd ! University of Aarhus, Jylland (!) (Pray and work!)

This made people even more confused.(I assume this from the amount of E-mail concerning it I've received) Therefore, I'll elaborate: I put the RAMexpansion in correct, but the cable from the internal diskette station had to be removed from its connector, and I didn't press it hard enough back in place. I put the Amiga back up and was in heaven for almost two hours, when the damned cable decided to jump off the connector, leaving my Amiga DEAD. I don't know tech stuff, but I know that the repair man said I needed a new kickstart ROM, because it was dead. But, that leaves the possibility, that I stabbed the poor chip with my screwdriver, while I had her(Amiga) open. :-) -- From the notorious Jakob Gaardsted, Computer Science Department Bed og arbejd !
