I have Red Ryder vers. 10.3.  I want to install a 14-point monospaced font, so
I tried the procedure described in the manual (I am using the vt100 emulation
mode so I lose the ability to use any font; this is stupid since I don't use
any of the vt100 large characters, etc.).  I installed the courier font.
It "worked," however the program paints the characters with a lot of inter-
character spacing (some spacing parameter is screwed up, I guess).
Interestingly, if a screen full of these courier characters is resized or
selected by click-and-drag, the program repaints the characters correctly
but leaves the cursor at the same, too-far-out position.  So, under some
circumstances, it gets the correct width information.  Wierd.  Actually, if
someone can tell me how to install a 14-point version of the standard Red
Ryder vt100 font, that would be enough.  Thanks!!
