	On a related note, VT100 v2.8 does the same thing when you I to set
the font to something that isn't also the system font.  For example, if I'm
using topaz 8 on the system and I try to fire up vt100 with a different font,
it will abort with the "can't find" message.

	...this seems to be directly related to what I said above.. when you
boot, do you set the system font to paula?
