[PEDA] Default fonts

Sun Jul 30 03:17:14 CDT 2006

Hi Robert,

Never thought of looking inside those files but when I did then both 
indicated support for 3 fonts. I deleted the first 2 making the number of 
fonts supported only 1 and made sure it was the one I wanted and it seems to 
work.

I can now place a component in the schematic and it defaults to the correct 
font and size - great.

I wonder why saving the defaults from within AD doesn't work.

Best Regards
