- If in your boot sequence, the answer is simple: *Print the font
- *before* you invoke the desktop in your !Boot (or !Boot.!Run) file.
-
- e.g. to quote from my !Boot (which is an application, containing a
- !Run file and all my boot resources...) !Boot.!Run:
-
- IconSprites <Boot$Dir>.!Sprites
- Print <Boot$Dir>.Font
-
- Set Free$Path <Boot$Dir>.Resources.Free., <Free$Path>
- Set Wimp$Path <Boot$Dir>.Resources.Wimp., <Wimp$Path>
- |(etc)
-
- desktop <Boot$Dir>.AutoRun
