I have noticed a strange thing when working with fonts. When you
load a font from say Prowrite, that font apparently is moved into
memory. The problem is - after loading several fonts, your memory
quickly dwindles.
I have found no way to get this memory back short of rebooting.
Does this happen with other applications as well (other than Prowrite)?
Is there a way of getting that memory back

The Intuition manual said that the memory will be freed when it
is needed by the system.
I read on USENET recently that if you load workbench with the option
"-debug", that there will be a menu option to "flushlibs". Maybe
the fonts will be cleared from memory too. I don't have time to
check.

If you select Debug, you will be thrown into RomWack. You must
have a 9600 baud terminal hooked up to the serial port to use RomWack.
From RomWack, there is a whole mess of simple debugging commands
you can use. Flushlibs will remove all of the libraries from the
system that have been "CloseLibrary()'d" but still haven't been
purged from memory.
