I got it working on my laptop that runs Windows2000. There it works, very
fine.
I am now able to create any font i like, although i am strugling with
height/width ratio.
I want to use the built-in raster-type fonts because it is very fast. Using
a TTF slows down the system very....very.. ...much :-(
Thx,
Petro
