I'd given up playing with fonts, and was resigned to using Topaz, until I
came across v2.0 of Andy's SetFont program. Seems like all the problems
and crashes that I had had with SetFont v1.1 are gone (well, v2.0 doesn't
crash *my* machine with "pearl" like v1.1 did, anyway).
Since I've not seen it posted to the net, here is the uuencoded executable
and documentation. Sorry, I don't have (or at least can't find) the sources.
