Does any one out there know how to use the 6x6 system font
in GEM programs? I tried using vst_font with all types of values,
but I kept getting back the standard 8x8 font.
In a similar question, is there a font editor available? And
even if not, if I create a font in the proper format, what do I have to do
to load and use it?
Thanks,

I believe that changing the height will work, by using something like
vst_height(handle, height, &dummy1, &dummy2, &dummy3, &dummy4)
with height=6. I've tried this with height=4 and you still get the
6x6 system font. I also would like a pointer to any font editors,
especially one which will work with TOS in ROM.

Use vst_point and set the point size to 1. It will use the next larger font,
which will be the 6x6 font you need.
