Use function OpenDiskFont() instead of OpenFont().
I'm too lazy to type an example here, but look into the program
Library in the basicdemos drawer of your Extras disk (yes, AmigaBasic).
There you can see what setup is necessary before calling that
function. Please note that you can exchange the function call in
this example easily by OpenDiskFont(). Another observation of
mine: Obviously this is the only place in the Amiga system that
is case sensitive on the filenames of the fonts! So watch out
for the real spelling of the wanted fonts. (Don't yet know if
this also applies to 2.0.)
