I'm the one who sent the files to Steve. I downloaded the ones
that Steve posted to comp.binaries.atari.st, and they seem to work just
fine.
When you invoke the font editor (on a MONCHROME), it prompts you
for a filename ( I've always used *.fed for the font files ). Select one
of the font files (6 were posted by Steve) and then you should be in
business. Yes, you'll see a hand pointer. The top 3 lines of the screen
should show the WHOLE character set. On the left side is a box that shows a
magnified version of the character you're currently editing. Some sort of
on-line help should be in the box roughly around the middle of the screen.
If you don't get this, then you file is probably damaged
