following causes a parse error: illegal escape sequence in string
with the default "fonts.txt" file...

// =========================================
// Initialises the font list
// -----------------------------------------
#declare nFonts=0;
#fopen fFonts "fonts.txt" read
#while (defined(fFonts))
         #read(fFonts,dummy)      // <-- this line while parsing gives
                      // #read(tFonts,dummy"C:\windows\fonts\times.ttf"
                      // parse error: illegal escape sequence in string
         #declare nFonts=nFonts+1;
#end
#fclose fFonts
#declare bookFonts=array[nFonts]
#declare i=0;
#fopen fFonts "fonts.txt" read
#while (defined(fFonts))
         #read(fFonts,dummy)
         #declare bookFonts[i]=dummy
         #declare i=i+1;
#end
#fclose fFonts
