FONTASSIGN is a program to use from WorkBench similar to the CLI command
1> ASSIGN FONTS: NewFontPath
Just click on the icon to inform the operating system where to search
for fonts. The operating system "assigns" a default home directory at
startup time, and until changed searches for the list of available fonts
in this default fonts home directory. Normally this directory is named
"FONTS", but may be named anything else too. If you want to use fonts
from another disk you have to inform the operating system exactly where
it is supposed to search. This included diskname, and any directory path
such as "df1:fonts", or "df2:fonts/SpecialFonts", or
"HD0:Fonts/Colorfonts" etc.
Just type the correct path into the typing area of the requestor window
to set a new fonts home fdirectory.
Be WARNED! If you have a disk named "FONTS" in any drive, you cannot
change the fonts path until you have removed or renamed that disk.
WARNING 2: Disks named "FONTS" have higher priority than directories,
and if you insert a disk named "FONTS" you will change the path from
your chosen disk to the root directory of the "FONTS" disk.
WARNING 3: Some programs load a list of fonts at the time they are
started (like NOTEPAD), so if you reassign the fonts home directory
after startup you will have a list which is invalid and the program will
not be able to find fonts in either the new or the old locations!
