- This may be related to font scaling. If you are editting at 100% and
- using a font in a point size that we have a bitmap for (Times at 12,
- for instance) then it may not happen.

- Ouch. We'll need to fix this, of course, but we actually did the
- business cards for MACWORLD Expo on Quark XPress here (3.0, not 3.31,
- I think).

- We bought a copy of XPress a while ago, so it *is* in our testing
- library, but right now we're trying to nail all the Mac formatted
- media reading/writing bugs.

- Not sure. We've been using Quark since last December. Unfortunately,
- just like PhotoShop, it works for us, but not necessarily for others.
- Both will be high priority once we officially go beta (soon).
