I think it`s AMCAF that can take a font and save it as an ABK bank, thus
no need for FONTS:

After seeing so many Amos programs released that LOOK like Amos programs I
think AMOS has got a bad name in some people`s eyes. My attitude is write
something in Amos and tell the people it IS amos so they think "Amos? Wow!
You can make something this good in AMOS?" Besides I hate to say it but no
matter how may hiding tricks you use an amos program is always an amos
program. I you use sprites or icons etc the file will have AmIc or AmSp
near it`s begining if you view the file in a hex editor. Similarly
compiled programs have a tag too.
