Okay, so suppose you start out with a large font, like the Masterpiece Font
set. Would that not have enough info? The problem is that even if you
rescale the bitmap SMALLER than the original, the rescaled version is never
as well constructed as the original. Rescaling is not enough; the program
would have to figure out, at that size, how best to draw each character
given the limited resolution (relatively speaking) of the system.
There were rumors that the Innovision folks (who put out Broadcast Titler
and Video Effects 3D) were working on such a program. But they've proved
to be extremely unreliable; their product support is rotten; they keep
promising upgrades that never show up. So I hold out small hope that their
mythical program will ever appear.
