Font Redirectory v1.0
Copyright � 1994
by Eric Shepherd

Font Redirectory lets you change the directory the Font Manager looks in
for your bitmap fonts.  There is a restriction: the pathname of the
fonts directory MUST be exactly 15 characters long, no shorter, no
longer.

For instance, the default string is: �*:System:Fonts:�.  That�s 15
characters.  �:Coal.Mine:Fnt:� is also legal.  This limitation is
forced by the Font Manager.

Before using Font Redirectory, create the directory you�ll be putting
your fonts into FIRST.  Remember that the full pathname, including
colons, must be 15 characters.  Copy the fonts you want into it,
including FASTFONT.

To use Font Redirectory, just launch it from the Finder.  You�ll be
asked to insert your boot disk and type its name.  Do so.  Then you�ll
be shown the current pathname of your fonts directory (as the Font
Manager will look for it).  Type in a new name, EXACTLY 15 characters. 
Use slashes (�/�) as separators; Font Redirectory will convert them to
colons for you.  Font Redirectory will make sure your pathname is valid
(begins with either �*� or �/� and ends with �/�) before checking if
the length is 15 characters.

If it�s valid, you�ll be asked if you want to save the change.  It�s
that simple.
