     It doesn't really matter what font you use as your template, but it should
be the same height as yours so you don't have to do an excessive amount of
editing. Plus, the font I used (Chunky) did not have this data at the front of
the file, I had to add this from another font then adding my own info (I forget
which):

flf2a$ 5 5 60 15 14
SLIDERS.FLF by ANTHONY CUCCHIARA - LESTER 5-26-98
Based on the Sliders TV show and the "INTERDIMENSIONAL" True 
Type Font by Jim Pingle (Taj...@cris.com)

Explanation of first line:
flf2 - "magic number" for file identification
a    - should always be `a', for now
$    - the "hardblank" -- prints as a blank, but can't be smushed
5    - height of a character
5    - height of a character, not including descenders
60   - max line length (excluding comment lines) + a fudge factor
15   - default smushmode for this font
14   - number of comment lines

     Now the 60 I'm still messing with (I don't know what it means!), and I'd
love to know what default smushmode means too. :)

     Where the original letters of the alphabet started, I pasted my own, then
deleted the original, and since it is a all caps font, I did that with the
lowercase as well. All the extended characters I will not be doing I delete,
but I leave the @s in place as a marker I guess (with no spaces at all, just
the @'s there

@
@
@
@
@@

like that.

since deleting them seems to make an error in the file when I try to use it.

     The sliders font still has a lot of Chunky in it, so I think it'll be a
while before I have it ready. :) But since I'm talking about it . . .

     The thing is, I can't find instructions anywhere on how to make a font, or
I haven't been looking hard enough.

     I came up with a new one just before, I don't know if I'm gonna make a
font out of it though. Looks good for my handle, but it's a little too big for
a sig?
