Has anyone succeded in making a font for windows3? First I created a FNT file
with the font editor, and continued exactly as in the example in "Guide to
programming" which followed the SDK. Success? No. The linker immediately
complained that no segments were defined. So a friednd of mine pointed out
that the DEF file should contain a line saying "EXETYPE WINDOWS". Seems 
logical, so I tried. This time it passed linking. Neither did the resource 
compiler complain. Happy I tried to install my new font, but was taken aback 
by the message "INVALID FONT FILE". Any suggestions of what might be wrong?
