I downloaded the ones that Steve posted to comp.binaries.atari.st, and they seem to work just fine. When you invoke the font editor (on a MONCHROME), it prompts you for a filename ( I've always used *.fed for the font files ). Select one of the font files (6 were posted by Steve) and then you should be in business. Yes, you'll see a hand pointer. The top 3 lines of the screen should show the WHOLE character set. On the left side is a box that shows a magnified version of the character you're currently editing. Some sort of on-line help should be in the box roughly around the middle of the screen. If you don't get this, then you file is probably damaged ..Lean -- if you can dream it, you can do it.
