------------------------------------------------

	I have a friend who has one of these.  He's looking for
reasonably priced fonts and presumably a font editor.  As well as
information on the format of fonts used by the Corona software.

	It seems in the original (V. 1?) documentation Corona
hinted it was possible to build your own fonts.  In the new version
(V. 2?) they have removed this.  Calls to their telephone "assistance"
line (both factory and regional),  have produced the answer "it can't
be done."

	Is there a version of Tex and MetaFont that will drive the
thing?

	If it makes any difference at all its driven by a PC with
the usual aftermarket add-ons.

	Thanks in advance for replies,

	Sam Lipson
