- I haven't tried that particular one, but it certainly works for me if I get
- silly and ask for Times/36 or other things like it. It first checks RAM
- via OpenFont(), then OpenDiskFont(), then it checks if the font is in ROM.
- If that doesn't work, it checks the next font in a list, which tends to be
- diamond/12, the same way. If you have no fonts installed it ends up with
- topaz/8 which is always in ROM.
- Are you sure topaz/11 is available?

- I admit that I don't understand what you mean by that. Right now it's a
- wee bit unelegant (the gadgets aren't ghosted), true, but when a search
- fails, it makes little sense to continue it, no?

- Thank you and you're welcome!

- However ... I have a confession to make ... it appears that v1.1 went out
- with a bit too much haste: I did not properly test the 'Add Fish' function
- in conjunction with the new name index, and adding 771-780 this morning
- revealed that the name index is not properly updated during that operation.
- What does that mean to you?
- If KingFisher complains after the 'Add Fish' operation, then the
- name index was not properly updated and you need to reindex the database to
- bring the name index up to date. Even though KingFisher will say that the
- problem may be lack of memory, it is really I who is the culprit :(
- If KingFisher doesn't complain then the problem just didn't appear
- for YOU and you can be happy. There _is_ a problem in there, though.
-
- So, you don't need to flood me with bug-reports: I'm aware of the problem
- and will have a fix available this coming weekend. Count on it.
