HINTS AND TIPS

  - An error occurs when you try to add a bitmap font to the IBM
    NPRU's database:

    Make sure that you have a font metrics file for your bitmap font,
    and that the name of the font metrics file matches that of the
    bitmap font file with an extension of TFM.

    For example, if you have a bitmap font file called "CGOMEGA.SFS"
    then you must also have a metrics file called "CGOMEGA.TFM" in
    the same directory in order for the IBM NPRU to be able to
    successfully add the bitmap font to it's database.
