Great Program! .. Its extremely useful to be able to change the font in your SHELL or CLI window. As you said, proportional fonts do not work well due to the fact that you can't really backspace using a prop. font without knowing the sizes of the characters on the line. Just for fun I modified the 8x8 topaz font to 7x7 ... 7x7 on an interlace workbench gives me... lezee, that's 91 columns by 57 rows! say.. if I could get a 7x5 font that was readable, that would give me 80 rows! The possibilities are endless. Now if only ED supported other fonts... This is definately a program that should be included on the release workbench disk. -Matt
