The last time I asked Richard Frick when a Font Editor/Loader would be
available for the ST, he said 'maybe never.' Has this changed? Does the
VDI load_font routine work, or is yet another of the VDI functions that DRI
hasn't gotten around to implementing?
Also, I've been trying to figure out how to scale down the system font to a
smaller size. I've been able to use vst_height() call to increase the
character size, but every time i try to shrink it I get mushrooms. How does
one get the small font that Icons are labeled with and the Doodle prog uses?

No problem is so formidable that you can't just walk away from it.
