Help! When I click on my notepad (not that I use it that much), I get the following : "Notepad is looking for Fonts. Are you there fonts?" and the first time, my system rebooted, the 2nd time I had my mouse freeze and had to reboot, the 3rd time I had a shell open and it said the same thing but no reboot had to be done, but I still couldn't close the notepad window. I could click on the box to close but it didn't work. Plus my screen updating started to mess up. I opened the shell to do a DIR FONTS: and it showed my directory. My guess is I have too many fonts for the notepad to handle (18 fonts). I've submitted this question to applications and programmers... hopefully someone can explain to me what's going on! System: A3000/25 wb 2.0 notepad version 1.7 (nothing else was open/running in the background...) oh and to the guys who know how to define things, can someone describe why the Amiga is multitasking compared to an ibm/mac system? (we don't have 2 cpu's do we? so how can it run stuff simultaneously without other windows pausing etc...) I'm new to the amiga and wanta be able to tell others why it's a true multi-tasking system correctly... thanks ... Pam (Correct me please! if I'm way off base)

Pam (Correct me please! if I'm way off base) I remember someone having the same problem somewhere a while back. They had to create two font directories and assign FONTS: to the one they wanted to use because the notepad can only handle a limited number of fonts. Anyone know of another text editor that displays fonts simular to the way notepad does? |\/|ark
