These are really nice, but would it be possible to have them installed
by riscpkg / Packman?
Fonts would seem to be a really nice thing to manage that way.
Thanks

If you are using an add-on manager, then obviously you wouldn't
install them this way.

Mmnnn!
Not so sure about that. (EFP 5.18u)
I've been using EFP since the beginning but have learned from hard
experience, installing fonts straight into it can cause biggy problems, so
big in fact that it becomes unusable and I have to drag a backup copy out
of the NAS to replace it.
My method of choice, particularly with an !effTTT coversion is to first
install it in ...Resources.!Fonts to test it out.
If it works okay, uninstall it from !Fonts then install it in EFP and see
what happens.
I have quite a number of Fonts (But only a few from effTT) that have to
remain in Fonts because installing them in EFP wrecks it.
And of course I must *never ever* attempt to use EFP in WYSIWYG display
mode.
That really is a disaster of the total kind.
Title : Error from EasyFont PRO V5
Task : EasyFont Pro
Message : Error while redrawing at line 9515(Internal error: Abort on
data transfer at &038C81D8)
And on clearing the error message, EFP vanishes and thereafter is
unusable, until replaced with the backup NAS copy.

Not having to download them.
But more to the point, knowing they existed, if I didn't happen to
have read the newsgroup.

This is awkward, because PackMan currently has no means of running something

after the installation process. That's necessary in the case of fonts to
regenerate the catalogue. Installing fonts is something that would be
useful but needs more work to be seamless.

You still download them if you use were to use a package manager!

Then you possibly only need to wait about 4 weeks for the new package
from R-comp, it will be free I believe, Theo knows what I mean. :-)
This would at least solve your last point complete;y.

I made up some fonts, and not knowing how to put them in the proper
directory for installing, I simply plonked my directory inside !Fonts in
Resources and did a re-scan in Configuration. Seemed to work ok.

No I don't. The package manager does it for me.

I've heard of it, I hope it is compatible with the existing system.
