- Seems I read somewhere that the screen font and truetype font version
- of Monaco are different and that you should trash the screen font for
- better wysiwyg (gawd I hate that term!). I don't know if this is
- related, and my memory fades a bit on the subject. Perhaps the
- screen font was monotype but the truetype version is not?
