|Well I figletised Henry Segerman's 3D font and temporarily named it
|3DS-FONT.FLF
|
|I built in Henry's Capital Letters on the existing STOP.FLF font
|and decided to leave the lower case and all other characters in the
|original STOP.FLF intact to allow future development of those
|characters rather just deleting them and leaving the blank spaces.
|
|Henry's font can only be used with his Capitalised
|Alphabet...anything else will appear in STOP.FLF font

It`s this that makes me think there is a perculiar bug in FigWIN... it ignores
spaces in certain fonts, and oversmushes the characters:

Nice font either way... thanks to Colin for FIGlefying (another word invented my
Martin Atkins (c) 1998 <g>) it... :o)

I may remark on these strange output differences in my MINIFAQ... :o)

Seeya,
Martin
