	I've been writing a little, incredibly fast, text-viewer program.
One of its features (and it only has a few.. it's meant not to take up much
room) is to allow you to specify the FONT.

	So, I set up the Text Attribute with the font name and font Ysize,
set everything else to 0, and call OpenFont().  If it fails I set the
flags field to FPF_DISKFONT, open the DISKFONT library, and call
OpenDiskFont().


-I open ruby.font w/Ysize = 8,	no problem, it works fine.  The program fails
on OpenFont() and works with OpenDiskFont().

-I open ruby.font w/Ysize = 12.  OpenFont() does NOT fail.. it gives me the
ruby.font/8 that I openned earlier.

	Is this a bug with OpenFont() or am I supposed to double check
fonts returned to me?
	
Note: OpenDiskFont() seems to work fine.
