Hmm, didn't know I could store them in the EXE. Would be nice to know how to do that too, but for this I'm interested in basically having whatever font .obj files in the directory and calling them from the code. Right now I have four font.obj files (fonta1.obj, ... fonta4.obj) and the object names are fonta1 ... fonta4.

Thanks, as always I appreciate it.

Oh definitely. He already watches me work in my office.

By the way...RR ... if you're out there...how's your baby doing? Getting close to their first birthday isn't it?
