   USING FONTS IN OTHER DIRECTORIES

OpenDiskFont() has a feature which makes it easy to access fonts in directories
other than FONTS:. If the name in the TextAttr structure (shich gets passed to
OpenDiskFont()) is a full pathname, (e.g. Work:special/accounting.font.font or
df0:Phunny/Phonts/quack.fonts), then OpenDiskFont() will use that full pathname
to access the font contents file.

   This way, you will not mess with the global font assign, and you can still
look anywhere you want for your fonts, like MyProg:Fonts/... or whatever.
