- I did try it. However I wasn't sure exactly what was happening.
- I wanted to be sure that it was picking up the truetype font,
- and not taking some bitmap instead and enlarging that.

- Anyways, the answer to the question was, yes the Truetype
- is a part of System 7 and all you have to do is drop a
- font into the system suitcase for it to work.

- Thanks to all the people who answered.
