Larry,

Amiga fonts are any size, usually proportional, and some have 4 or 16 colors.

Most are set up for use in video titling software, and are pretty huge (40 to
70 pixels high).  So at this point, my support is very simple... just output.
It's also fairly slow, as I draw them dot per dot (they're bitplane packed).

Later on, I'll come up with a conversion utility to some new and quicker
format, but for now usage is easy:  simply merge the binaries you downloaded
into a special graphics buffer group.

So much to do; so little time :-)

PS: yes, C usually buffers output.  Others here can tell you how to prevent
that if wished.  (you can also use the flush commands to flush the buffer)
