If what you want to do is take those fonts to your CoCo, printing a Dump will
only leave you in a quagmire of hex numbers. About the only way you can do
this and keep your sanity is to print the character set from the application
the fonts were intended for and use a CoCo-based font editor to recreate each
character as best you can. Keep an ASCII table handy!!!! No matter what it
will be long hard work that may not really be worth doing. I tried very hard to
bring the Macintosh's Ashley font to OS-9 a few months ago and gave up in utter
frustration. I wish I had better news but I thought I'd better tell it like it
is. I hope someone else comes up with a better answer or at least that I save
you some agony. (I think I'm a glutton for punishment. I now want to take
Ashley to the PC without Windows. Some VGA cards will co-operate.)
