- I have long used (and loved!) the clySmic vga font. It was a source of
- constant pain to lose it upon entering SLS, and now I can't get it
- even with plain NB 4.0 (I finally saved a copy of the plain NB.COM
- file!) So, Roy, if you manage to pull off this feat (which is WAAAY
- beyond my expertise), I for one would be very greatful for either
- getting the NB.FNT file, or getting *explicit* directions on how to
- perform this miracle. Even *if* that lower case "m" is grotty!

- Thanks greatly,

- relativizes once important words....
