This stems from the fact that Euphoria has so many ways to input and output
data. It gets confusing as to which is the proper or best to use in a given
circumstance. Here's one way to do what you want:

include get.e
integer fn, y
object fontin
sequence fontout
 fontout = {1,2,3.1415,6,"Fillmore"}

-- write part of the data
fn = open("Font.dat","w")
print(fn,fontout) -- fontout[1..4] if you want to save only part
close(fn)

-- read the data
fn = open("Font.dat","r")
fontin = get(fn)
close(fn)
fontin = fontin[2] -- discard the disk read success flag

y = fontin[2]
print(1,y)
