- The above is true only if the fonts (bitmap and TrueType) are
- both installed in the System *File* (at least if one is using
- the TrueType init with Sys 6.0.8). If a util such as
- MasterJuggler is used to install the fonts, the TrueType init
- will not see the fonts. Anyone know if Sys 7 is blind in this
- way?
