Thank you for the info.  Of course you are absolutely correct, the font has
to be in a DLL (I should have guessed).  But when I put main() {} in my
.c file, and compile to a dll (.fon), the font won't install, ie GpiLoadFonts
fails and the WPS will crash and restart if I try installing it.  If I 
leave the .c file blank, it will partially install with the font palette
utility (the WPS does not crash) but the font is inaccessible and I can't
delete the file in the \os2\dll directory, and GpiLoadFonts still fails.
I think it might have something to do with my module def file:

LIBRARY lcd
DESCRIPTION	'lcd - Digital font for Tracker/PM MOD player'
DATA SHARED

That's it!  I guess there should be a reference to the actual font resource
(?) or something, but I'm not sure how to do it.  Anyway, if you (or any
other kind soul) could show me the light (again) I would really appreciate
it.
Thanks in advance,
