I installed these two on seperate SD cards. All other files identical other than these installers.

And found that the high Notator RAM versions are missing the BT Fonts folder.

Yes. If I delete the BT Fonts folder it leaves over 90,000 bytes more to Notator!

Both installations still have this:

But the setup without BT Fonts will be a file path to nowhere.
