The example program for the Font functions in the graphics library
contains the following incorrect source line:

   strcat (fondir, "\*.fon") ;

This line should be corrected to read as follows:

   strcat (fondir, "\\*.fon") ;

This example program is listed in the Online help facility in QuickC
Version 2.00. This error afflicts all the Font family functions that
consist of the following:

    _registerfonts, _setfonts, _outgtxt,
    _unregisterfonts, _getfontinfo, _gettextextent.
