Ok.  Now for the _REALLY_ simply solution.

        1.  Put all the font files in their correct directories
                ie:  fonts:fish/17

        2.  Delete all the .font files in the fonts directory
                ie:  delete fonts:#?.font

        3.  Run FixFonts from the WB1.3 system.

This will completely rebuild the .font files to include all the point
sizes you have.

Two warnings:
        1.  This can take a _LONG_ time to do, so be patient.
        2.  It only works on 1.3, _NOT 1.2_!! (I don't know if there
                is an equivalent in 2.0)

Phil.
