I may have found a bug. Maybe everyone knows about this and it's an old
bug, but I thought I'd describe it here anyway.

The programs being used: Arthur Johnson's ``Showfont'' and ``The Calligrapher''
from Interactive Softworks.

_Showfont_ is a program which simply displays all characters in a specified
font.

_The Calligrapher_ is a comercial font editing program.

Basically the problem occurs when you do this: Display a font by using
_Showfont_. Exit. Edit the font with _The Calligrapher_. Save it to
disk. Click to back and display it with _Showfont_.

What you will see now, is the OLD font, the one you had on disk
previous to saving the font you just editied.

I'm not sure where the bug lives, but I got around it by taking
out the ``addbuffers'' in my startup-sequence.

My system is very stock, other than running Matt's/Steves's shell.

Thank you and good night.
