It is indeed even without GDOS possible to install GDOS fonts using CoNnect.
Just put a folder named GEMSYS in the CoNnect-folder and place there all
the GDOS fonts you want to use. In the display dialogue you ca then select
one of theese fonts. Included in the archive there is a font
named CONNECT.FNT which is not to small to work with but you can see 24x80
on the window.As CoNnect is completly based on GEM you probably will
need a screen accelerator like NVDI or WARP9 to work on a normal 8MHz
ST. But CoNnect uses a lot of optimisations in output that you can surely
call it one of the fastest GEM-based Comms-Programs on the ST. And CoNnect
iss the only one, that passes the vttest (Test for vt100/vt102 Compatibility)
programme completly.

And! For registered users there will be an english manual (more than
100 pages) available in about 2 months. (better English than my one ;)
