2039.0. "Sysfont (see 1869 also) and WordPerfect" by CSSE::WARD () Tue Dec 27 1988 09:58

    Bought SysFont V1.0a.  Kickstart V1.2.1 and V1.3 won't allow me
    to use it (Something about fatal unknown type of font)
    
    FastFont (FF) overall useless (see note 1869).  When I fall back
    to V1.2 KickStart, it works fine.
    
    Wordperfect works with SysFont EraWare (TM) 8x8 fonts nicely, I 
    currently set the screen to CLEAR2 font, screen to amber and the
                                                       ===== 
    letters to dark blue.  This replicates the screen samples in the 
    Wordperfect manual.
    
    So in the Startup-Sequence I add:
    
    SYSFONT_A CLEAR2 -F2,3
    
    ... and the ugly TOPAZ is gone!  The resulting screens/windows are 
    easier to read and flicker is attentuated when interalce (WBLACE tool)
    is on. [Letters are two pixel wide in the right places on CAPS]

	Correction, Its' SysFont that doesn't work with newer kickstarts. FF (FastFont) doesn't do anything with fonts in V1.3. [A1000]
