Hi, we need to print Cyrillic fonts on a HP laser.  We have the Cyrillic
soft fonts and are currently using QFONT to edit these fonts (we need to
change their ASCII values to suit the screen fonts).  However, my problem
is that whenever we go into QFONT, open the font file, modify the header to
type 2 (because we need to place the soft fonts at 80h (128) and above), save
the file, and exit QFONT, I find that the file is has been reduced from
22k down to about 100 bytes.  Surely enough, when you go back into QFONT 
and open the file, nothing (i.e. fonts) comes up on the screen; you only get
a blank grey screen with the pull-down menu options still there.

Author, please help, I have a deadline !
