About Amiga fonts in chip RAM.  It may be that the
fonts are going to fast ram first, but since they
don't dump out of memory on command, they get down
in my chip RAM and mess my program up.  I'm using a
lot of fonts at times.  So I might be able to get
by with just the code to dump the fonts out of  RAM
after doing a CloseFont().  Before we had this 
discussion and someone pointed out you could do 
something like:

    temp = AllocMem(1000000000, MEMF_PUBLIC);
    if (temp != NULL)
       FreeMem(temp, 1000000000);

Is this the correct thing to do?  Will it work
even in 1.4, 1.5 etc?
