- I've tried the Font Editor, with no luck. It doesn't seem to do
- anything very useful. I did discover that you can change the default
- font (topaz.font) by editing AMOS.Library with a hex editor, but it
- only loads fonts in memory. The other problem is that a compiled AMOS
- program looks for the font specified in AMOS.Library before it does
- anything else, so you can't write an AMOS routine which loads the
- required font into memory. Someone would need to write a front-end for
- your compiled program in C or some other language which loads the font
- into memory, then loads the main program, either that, or hack
- AMOS.Library to load disk fonts.
-
- The point is, I've proved you can use other 8-point fonts with a
- little effort.

- Your other answers were very helpful. Thankyou.

- Now if someone could shed light on how to use the mysterious Hardcol
- and Set HardCol commands, I'd name my first-born after them. :-)
