Hi, *.

There is something wrong with the documentation for skin fonts.

Documentation says:
>font = fontfile, fontid
> Defines a font. fontfile is the name of a font description file with a .fnt
> extension (do not specify the extension here). fontid is used to refer to
> the font (see dlabel and slabel)."

In Blue skin there is an entry:
>  font =     font, font-pl

That would mean that font is in file "font.fnt" and it's fontid is "font-pl".

Now in documentation for dlabel we can read:

> dlabel = X, Y, length, align, fontid, "text"
> The label is displayed using the font identified by fontid.

But the Blue skin has a dlabel with the following entry:
>  dlabel = 280, 40,  56, 0,    font, "$1"

That would mean that the fontid should be "font", but there is no font
with such fontid, there is one with "font-pl".

This problemis not constricted to Blue skin, it happens in all skins
I've looked at. All dlabels specify font not by its fontid, but by the
prefix of the filename. Could you please update the documentation to
reflect this?

Best regards,
