Okay, here's the confusion: the original FontMonger for the Macintosh, version 1.0, does NOT allow designing of fonts. It's a conversion program, pure and simple. The Windows version does allow the designing of fonts and I assume the new Mac version (1.5) does as well. -- Kenneth Chang | National Center for Supercomputing Applications kchang@ncsa.uiuc.edu | Consulting Office/(217)244-1144 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Everything's entertainment in America eventually" -- Tracy Ullman
