- I'd have to check my disks at home to make sure what 3.1 did, since
- there have been a couple of different bullet implementations. However,
- one or more of the following is true for all OS releases since
- 2.04. Keep in mind that "bullet" is not the key issue, but CG
- IntelliFont support:
-
- 1. diskfont.library understands .otag files and uses bullet.library
- to create bitmap fonts from the IntelliFont typefaces the .otags point
- to.
-
- 2. diskfont.library understands .otag files and is capable of creating
- bitmaps from IntelliFonts by itself.
-
- 3. Two diskfont.library versions on OS install disks: one (smaller,
- since the larger didn't fit on the disk) on the Workbench disk, the
- larger, "real" diskfont.library on the Fonts or Storage disk.
-
- While we're on the issue, by the way: .otag is a special file that
- tells diskfont.library that a font is not a pure bitmap font, but
- instead has a vector typeface stored somewhere. The file tells the
- location of the typeface file, and the name of the library that can
- read it and create the needed bitmaps from it.
-
- A complete OS install should have a couple of .otag files in FONTS:,
- and the FONTS:__bullet (or something like that) directory where the
- typefaces themselves are stored. The corresponding .font file and the
- bitmap directory are not necessary.
