I'll give that a run too when I get time. Also for those that are interested a new version of the JPhotobrush Pro Java image application has recently been released. I also noticed on eZine an article on the Maul Desk Top Publisher. It takes a bit of getting used to, but the results are spectacular. Anybody know if there is going to be *.png support for OS/2. I mean rendering on the desktop.

Unfortunately, I don't have it installed because I now use OpenWatcom. I don't remember if the font editor ran under winOS2 or native. The people at openwatcom may know where the code/exe is.
