I am programming a utility in C (lattice), and need to open a specific font off of a disk. (the font
is already stored in the fonts: dir of my boot disk).

How do you go about opening that disk-based font? I have tried and tried, but seem to only be able
to open the rombased fonts....
What exactly needs to be opened before you can call OpenFont()? Every time I have tried doing this,
either the computer guru's, or it just simply does not open the font....

Any ideas? thanks in advance.
Bob
