7.3 On the 1985 disk, the names given to the two Nāgari fonts and to the
Geneva font intended to match their height were respectively "UBC Nāgari,"
"UBC Thick Nāgari," and "Wide Line Geneva." The names for the same on the
1986 disk are: "NI H18,24," "N2 H18,24 S12,24," and "Geneva N" (see 2.6 for
the rationale behind the new names, 1.6 for the elimination of "thick" Nāgari, and 2.9-10 for the raising of Arabic numbers). Consequently, when the 1986 disk is used as a start-up disk for the first time, the computer will display the documents in the earlier fonts in a strange kind of Roman; they must be
reassigned (preferably in instalments of 5-7 pages, for the free memory
space on a single-sided UBC Indic disk is not much) to the new fonts by using the font menu.
7.4 Some minor problems of the 1985 disk (e. g., the 'crowded appearance of and in a word like a ) have been corrected.
