!FontManager and how it changes Font$Path
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-----------------------------------------------
When EXTENDED PATHS is ON
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This creates a number of system variables
<Za$Path>, <Zb$Path>, <Zc$Path> etc...
each of these system variables is a macro, and
it holds the pathname of a group.
<F$Dir>.Symbols, <F$Dir>.SanSerifs
You may have noticed that the first paths are
shorter and that in fact they can be
represented by an even shorter notation:
Za:, Zb:, Zc:
So, written to <Font$Path> is Za:,Zb:,Zc: and
so more groups can fit into the 256bytes that
are avaiable.
-----------------------------------------------
With EXTENDED PATHS turned OFF.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This simply writes the paths into <Font$Path>
Resources:$.Fonts.,<F$Dir>.SanSerif., <F$Dir>.
Roman.,<F$Dir>.Old.
So you can see how 256 bytes can be eaten up
*VERY* quickly. This is the reason why I
strongly reccomend that EXTENDED PATHS be
left on.
