- Why bother, when you can use GadToolsBox V1.3 to generate perfectly working
- font adjusting routines for GadTools. I have used GTB to develop all the
- windows in my up and coming communications package, X-Comm. It generates code
- that can handle almost any font, and also allows proportional. Don't know why
- people bother doing it by hand?
