I am new to Easy Font Pro, so it may just be a setting in that that I
need to alter.
I ave EFP run at boot up.
Now whenever I run Netsurf, Easy Font Pro issues an error to the
effect that it has detected that Netsurf wants to change the
Font$path, and do I want to let it.
Whichever way I answer, the next time I run Netsurf, I get asked the
same question. Anyone know where and what I should change somewhere?
I only ask here because it seems to be a specific to Netsurf. OvPro
doesn't do this when run.

Take a look in !Netsurf.!Run
There are lines
| Install NetSurf-specific fonts
| NB: trailing dot is required
FontInstall NetSurf:Resources.Fonts.
Netsurf adds its own fonts to the FontPath.
These fonts are then removed from FontPath when Netsurf is quit.

If I did this, does this not mean I will have to remember to do this
/every/ time I load the latest Netsurf? ...

No-one is (or should be) suggesting that you modify NetSurf to remove the
message: adding and removing fonts is a completely legitimate action on
RISC OS, and I assume that NetSurf is adding fonts for a reason.
Chris has pointed out the reason that EasyFontPro gives a warning. You now
need to fix Easy Font Pro to ignore what NetSurf is doing: I'm afraid that
the problem is with EFP.

None of the standard RISC OS fonts provide a couple of the glyphs required
for list bullet rendering. "Circle" and "Square", iirc.
"Disc" is
available from standard fonts.

Roger, I'm sure there's an Icon bar menu option something to do with
this...
"Remove Folder" where you enter the path to netsurf to catch the error or
some such.
Sorry I don't have the EFP manual to hand, and for reasons stated in the
private email recently, Fog prevents me remembering the detail.

Yes, when Netsurf is run, and I accept its Font$Dir changing question,
an extra folder belonging to Netsurf appears in EFP.
If I then remove that folder in EFP, and then quit and re-load
Netsurf, the question still remains. In other words, eliminating the
folder from EFP doesn't prevent the same problem recurring when
Netsurf is next run. EFP still asks the same question.
Sorry if this is not a Netsurf problem. Maybe if I take it to
Comp.sys.apps...
Sorry I don't have the EFP manual to hand, and for reasons stated

OK, no worry.
Thanks for your help Dave.

My own way of dealing with the problem is to ensure that
NetSurf is run before EFP during the boot sequence.
It's not a total solution because upgrading to a new
development build (thanks to the NetSurf team for the
frequency of these) means quitting the old version and
running the new one. The 'error' message appears at each of
these actions. I usually quit EFP first and run it again
afterwards. It's useful to have a short cut for it on the
pinboard.
