There is no font type Arial... It's just some cheap ripoff by Microsod. But hey, Mister Bill would have had to pay for an original font, and that wasn't worth it... (And an original font would not fit into the Microsod policy of stealing ideas from others...) By the way Marcus, of course you don't want to use a helvetica (yes, that's an original font) because that's a proportional font. You need a fixedwidth font... Topaz8 fits in an 8*8 matrix, right? -- _ _ ------------\ ,---. /------------ ---------. `-./ "\.-' .--------- --------\ . /-------- ------`-.| .-'------ ---/ `/"\ \--- `//_-_\\' .----------(.'---',)----------. | mailto:ojo...@mindless.com | | http://ojoshiro.neroc.nl | | --oO(_)Oo-- | | Ojoshiro fuit hic | "-----------------------------"

It was a picture from a magazine, I had it next to my keyboard with one eye on it while drawing it with the keyboard on the screen, and then going over the top by adding too much detail ;-) In some fonts it works very good, in some it just falls apart though. > > .-------------------------------------------------------------. > | _ | > | >"/ .

I was wondering is there an amiga to pc font converter?
I have a lot of fonts on my amiga cos i used to collect them. They'd be
nice on my pc... then again, so would the amiga os be ncie on my pc
rather than microsoftcocks alternative.
Heck even iff pics that can color cycle on a pc would be nice.
But anyway thanks in advance if you can help with info

From the emulating the Amiga FAQ(Which I used to mantain)....... <faq> Are there any Amiga emulators for the PC/Mac/Linux etc. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are two main ones(And both are FREE!), UAE, which you can get from, http://www.netrunner.com.br/dosuae/ Fellow, which you can get from, http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Peaks/5244/ Which is better UAE or Fellow, --------------------------------------------- UAE is the more advanced of the two, and has a wider range of capabilities. Fellow, Which is better for playing games, and is slightly faster than UAE, But on the downside it has less features than UAE. </faq> Imran
