Re: Fairlight fonts

Hi zootook01,

I had found the font data in one of the CMI's ROMs a while ago, and your request inspired me to convert that into a more modern form. :-)

I just uploaded it.  It's just a Windows bitmap font -- I couldn't find an easy way to convert to ttf, but hopefully this will be good enough.  With it installed on my PC, I can type in the CMI font in programs like WordPad (Word is too smart, it doesn't want to let me use a raster font!).

Note that the CMI font doesn't have lower case!

Joe
