- I DID Install it! Or should like I let the Workbench INSTALLER Install
- Everything! Still should be NO reson for the program not to work! It should
- at least pop up a error Requester saying that the fonts are Not Installed, or
- some such thing. It should say someplace in the readme file what fonts it
- requires since theres no REAL Manual. Maybe if the program can't find some
- font it NEEDS, it'll try using something else. Mabe you should be allowed to
- at least configure the program to use some other FONT. Not just NOT load up,
- and give you NO reson for not loading up.

- >1.1 resorts to TOPAZ if it can't find Times and Courier - so even IDIOTS like

-
- The only person thats a IDIOT is your self!!! I have all 3 of thoese FONTS!
- In fact I have over 120 fonts Installed on my system! When you pick between
- Small Fonts and Large Fonts on AWEB's Installer, what the HELL does that
- support to mean? It doesn't TELL you what fonts it uses for either.
-
- For Topaz I have size 7 and 11
- For Times I have size 9,10,11,12,13,14,15,18 and 24
- For Courier I have size 11,13,15,18, and 24
