Borland's font editor , FE, won't save files correctly

[Herb Schilling]

In an earlier post, I asked about the availability of Greek stroke
fonts for Turbo Pascal. I did not receive any responses telling
me where to find any, but I did find out about Borland's unsupported
font editor, FE.

Well, we tried it and works fine until you try to reload a font file
that you created. When you try to load it in, you get a "Bad Signature"
error message and no fonts are loaded. I tried downloading the
program from two different archives in case one version was corrupted,
but they both did the same thing.

Did anybody use this font editor succesfully ? Can you please tell me
what is going wrong? Thanks.

There exist also fixed FE which does not corrupt your files. You can
get it from nic.funet.fi from directory /pub/msdos/programming/borland.
Fixed FE.EXE is in archive bgifont.lzh

Actually, I wonder doesn't simtel's FE work properly.
If it doesn't, I think somebody should update the corresponding files.
