Shaston Underline Font

Shaston is the standard, or �default� font used by the IIgs. It�s built
into the ROM on every IIgs just so every GS program will have it
available at all times.  It�s a great font, and a very readable one; in
fact, it�s probably the most readable font there is on the IIgs screen.
But, it�s always suffered from one annoying limitation - you can�t
underline text when using it!

Well, some hacker got it into his head to fix this annoying limitation
and the result is this great new version of Shaston, which looks and
works exactly like the old Shaston, but has underlining capability
built-in.

Note that Shaston is not very well designed for underlining, so some
characters may look a little funky when underlined, but text will be
readable in underlined mode, and it�s really nice to at least have this
as an option when you want it.

The New Shaston underlined font is only available in one point size,8.
