- This is EXTREMELY wishful thinking :-) but will Quickdraw GX result in any

- the screen on a Plus? That would be reason enough for me to move from System
- 6.0.5 to System 7.1 right there...
-
- GX won't be in 7.1. Maybe it'll run as plug-in for 7.1 though,
- who knows? Anyway, terminal programs will have to be re-written
- to take advantage of QuickDraw GX, and it will be some time before
- that happens.
-
- Also, I think that QuickDraw already is quite optimized for drawing
- bitmapped fonts; the problem is more probably with your terminal
- program...
