- Thomas, if you look on your AmigaFonts disk, I believe you'll find another
- diskfont.library. This is the v37 one that supports outline fonts. Check
- the size of the file: the v37 diskfont.library is much larger than the
- v36 one that is on your Workbench disk. (In this case this is a better
- way to tell the difference between the two, since using the VERSION command
- can be deceptive.)
-
- Copy the V37 library to your LIBS: directory. If this is a Workbench floppy,
- you will first need to delete some little-needed utilities or other files
- from the disk, so the new library will fit. The library-size vs. disk-space
- problem is the main reason the newer diskfont wasn't on the WB disk by
- default.

- This subject is covered in the second and third paragraphs in the Floppy
- Based Systems section of the _Amiga Release 2 Getting Started_ manual.
