    I have Pointless, however Monospace is not one of the fonts included.

    Recently purchased a used IIGS system. Also purchased a new FocusIDE hard drive from Alltech, and have slowly been trying to add Freeware from the
    'Net to build up the available programs.

    However, one of the programs that was pre-installed on the Focus, PMPUnzip, which of course allows you to open/manipulate zip files on a GS, complains
    it cannot find the PC Monospaced 10-point font, add it to ./System/Fonts yadda yadda and then only quits.

    I cannot find this font (at least under this name) on any of the system
    6.0.1 installation disk (checked all six), and not having any luck google searching for it as a IIGS bitmap font.

    About the only font archives I can find require Pointless, which I would consider buying in the future, but kinda annoyed with the idea of paying for it for just one font to get this program running.....

    Any help?

    The font file required is included in the PMPUnzip archive. It must
    have been an oversight to not pre-install it.

    Took some more digging, and the other nice bonus is I now have version 2.0 instead of the (broken) 1.0 that came on the FocusDrive. Thank you for the help.
