The most interesting argument for SetFont is SCALE. It lets you scale an existing typeface up to 100 pixels high. For example, to create a Topaz 72 font, enter: SETFONT Topaz 72 SCALE
The results are shown in Figure 8-8. The simple scaling method does not cre ate sophisticated outline fonts, but it's better than nothing.

Amiga OS2.0 provides supportfor scalablefonts. This lets you define a pixel sizefor a typeface other than the ones contained in the Fonts: directory. Because Amigafonts are bitmapped and not outlinefonts, they can look pretty ragged when scaled to large sizes. This shows a 72-pixel Topazfont.
Fault and Why: Explaining Errors Occasionally, when a command aborts execution because of an error, it prints an error number in the Shell window. For a slightly (and I do mean slightly) more enlightening explanation of the error, you can enter Fault, followed by
