this snippet wil look for the master and two substitute fonts as well as store each font name in an array if usage is required.

Cool, handy little snippet

Just a bit of advice, you can put 2 or more of those for...next loops together to make it faster. If you put all of them together everything is checked at once and you only have to run the loop once, and it gives real-time checking to see if the master fonts are available.
Also, instead of using make object etc to create the backdrop, just use backdrop on.

Cheers,
Kentaree

Just lil' tip for DBPro usage (although i've not tried either in DBC) that saves a lil' typing and I think makes code easier to read.

instead of:

Quote: "dim SubACheck(1) : SubACheck(1) = 0
dim SubBCheck(1) : SubBCheck(1) = 0
"


Perhaps?:

Quote: "dim subACheck() ; SubACheck()=0"
or
Quote: "global subACheck as integer : subACheck=0"

Id be more inclined to use the last method, The first sounds like a dodgy array declaration.
