GCFonts are a font set that I created to replace Topaz.

The font has a single pixel stroke style that, even in the small
sizes, has good readability while saving window area. For example
an 80 column by 24 line text window need only be 504x240 including
title bar, message area and scroll bar when rendered in GC611/9.

The files represent sizes 6x8, 6x9, 6x11, 7x11, 8x8, and 8x11.

GC611/9 works quite well for Workbench 3.1 and as a default font.

I use Leo Schwabe's NoPaz to replace the Topaz 8x8 font with
GC811/8. This works for some Workbench requesters and font unaware
applications, including games.

I discovered that many font rigid applications use any 8x11 font if
it resides in "Fonts:Topaz" and is named "Fonts:Topaz/11". Examples of
these applications are TransWrite and ProDraw both when rendering text
in high res interlaced screens.

To impliment GC811/11 useage in this manner I suggest:
Save the old Topaz fonts for reference...
 rename
   "Fonts:Topaz" directory to "Fonts:TopazDefault"
 rename
   "Fonts:Topaz.font" file to "Fonts:TopazDefault.font"
To enable GC811/11 to take over as the default 8x11 font...
 make a new directory
   "Fonts:Topaz"
 copy "Fonts:GC811/11" file
 move "Fonts:GC811/copy of 11" file into the new "Fonts:Topaz" directory
 rename "Fonts:Topaz/copy of 11" to "Fonts:Topaz/11"

After playing with the font files, don't forget to run FixFonts.
