<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>i'm NOT trying to push a font design that i like in
pd !!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>it's just that it would be nice if pd had its own
font...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>!!! i would be happy to make what ever design
!!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>important would be only that it would look 100% the
same on every machine (if possible)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>...but with bitmap fonts it would be only a matter
of screen resolution</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>or are there some performance questions over bitmap
fonts?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>or is it just me whos looking at too much "useless"
details :)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>thnx</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the font has (for beta testing) as internal name
"courier". </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>installing in windows:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. close all programs that are using "courier"
fonts</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. delete all installed "courier" fonts
(ttf+fon) (dont forget to backup them first!!!)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. copy the beta PD8x13BN.FON font file to
../windows/fonts</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>4. ready. all progs that use "courier" font
should now use the new font</FONT></DIV>
