- This is unfortunate, but perhaps not beyond fixing. It is a lot of
- money to spend if one's sole purpose is to fix that bug (and should
- really be fixed in Metamorphosis Pro), but perhaps purchasing Altsys'
- Fontographer, loading in the TrueType font in question and saving to
- NeXT format would help?
-
- This also has the added bonus of being able to use an excellent program
- (the likes of which don't even *exist* for the NeXT, anyone feel like
- making a font editor?) to tune up the font as a whole.
