change the font where you copy it to to a fixed width font like
courier new, lucida console or fixedsys...

that should do the trick

You could consider a move to Venus, with almost 6000 hours a day (almost 250 Earth
days!). If you can stand the heat.
Alternatively, Pluto sports a whopping 90000 days in a year.
If you can stand the cold.

Topaz New is blasphemy compared to the original AmigaOS 2.0 topaz.font. It

Actually I could but I can't find a TTF editor that allows me to specify the
bitmaps directly.. Everyone just does the beziers, but no-one does bitmaps.

The TTF format allows you to store bitmap data as well for the smallest point
sizes. Give me an editor and I'll do it.

Take a gander at http://www.google.com/search?q=%22TTF+editor%22 and take your
pick.

No offence taken.. :-)

I've been having server problems, not being able to post..

Finding the TTF editor is not the problem. Finding a TTF editor that does
bitmaps is.

I found a tool by Microsoft that merges .bdf fonts into TTFs as bitmaps, but
nothing for .fon.. I also found a MAC utility for transferring .fon to .bdf
but that's for the Mac.. I can't be bothered to do all the fonts again..

I guess I'll have to go through those endless Google result listings again..
You have no idea how much time I've spent going through them already.. :-)
