I just grabbed the strings that showed up close what were obvious font
names.

So, there is a smallish subset of OS/2 software that you don't own. Let's
see. I knew about eCS. Now FontFolder. Any others?

Depends on how you define fonts. Recall that a typographer considers a
font to be a typeface of single size etc. etc. In their terms, the font
file contains only a single typeface.

I did not state this clearly. All the key names for TrueType and
Postscript fonts have a font type suffix. The key values have the font
type implicitly defined by the file name extension. There are a few key
names without font type suffixes. Looking at the associated pathnames
these are obviously for the standard bitmapped fonts.

As I mentioned, most likely the key name suffix exists the prevent name
collisions. If you want, you can test this with your favorite INI file
editor. Just change one of the key names to something else and see if the
font is still available after a reboot.

>This has all been great information, Steven. Can I buy you lunch?

Sure, but not for this. :-)

We shall see. Joan and I are thinking of going light with Rock Cornish
game hens. Of course this is only light in terms of leftovers. We still
do stuffing and the other stuff.
