Presumably you mean within the Corpus directory. I have many more fonts in my
Virtual Acorn SA 4.02, put there seemingly by EasyFontPro, my font manager
programme.
Incidently to that, I tried to produce a list of those fonts by doing a
select drag of the directories to a StrongEd file. In 4.39 that gives the
leafname (or is it pathname?) of the directory (ies) but in 4.02 it just gave
a "Can't losd a directory" error message. Did that function only appear in
4.39 (& later)?
