Which version of the fastfilesystem is that? Note that some versions, most notably those from 3.9 and 3.1.4 will not work under 1.3 as they require later versions of the kickstart. Also note that FFS does not work on disk drives under Kick 1.3 unless you set the mask and the bufmemtype value correctly. Mask should be 0x00ffffff and bufmemtype should be 3. Since the regular kickstart mount entry for disk drives does not set these parameters, FFS will not work on floppies unless you have a custom mount file. The reason is that the 1.3 trackdisk device requires floppy buffers in chip mem as it uses the blitter for MFM decoding and encoding, and the FFS without further tuning passes the user-supplied buffers directly to the trackdisk.device. As they are typically in fast mem, disk transfer will not work. As for the fonts entry, this was already covered by Tony. There is a FastFonts replacement on Aminet that also works with topaz.9 and that does not have the bug you observed. If you need it, you'll find it there.
