EDGJ>>rarely use the extra fonts that came on my CDROM. I've only had bad
EDGJ>>experiances with non-Geoworks fonts anyway. I downloaded one of the
EDGJ>>featured Christmas files AOL had, a Christmas font. I tried it in
EDGJ>>FontMagick and it crashed the system.
I've got a Christmas font in my collection. Actually there are 2
separate files.  One is the plain font and the other is the same font
decorated with tiny graphics around each letter.  They both work fine
but then all my fonts are tested before they are ever sent out since
each font is shown on one of my catalog pages.  Each of the Geowrite
documents that make up each of sections in the catalog has between
100 & 200 fonts loaded, used and printed at the same time.  So if any
were going to crash, they would definitely crash on me. And I have had a
few that I had to go back and convert again with some adjustments or
have completely left them out of the collection.  The biggest problem
with converting the fonts is converting a decorative font that has
decorative control characters.  Delete those characters from the font
and it normally converts just fine.
EDGJ>>CS>  2) He only posted in the newsgroup & on AOL, at best, as
EDGJ>>CS>     far as I know.
EDGJ>>He said he advertised in Fidonet also, and he did put an advertisement
EDGJ>>on his web page, but then again his page required the newest browsers 
o
EDGJ>>view, so most Ensemble users wouldn't be able to see it.
I did the advertising in the Geoworks Echo on Fido since he did not have
access to it.  I also uploaded the Geos files that showed his web site
and the advertisement on it, to The Hole BBS (Stu, would you mind
deleting that file?)  Supposedly he did the advertising on AOL,
Compuserve, Comp.os.geos and the Internet.
