See my recent message to Steve Werner to learn a little about the way I'm attacking all this font stuff… I was amazed, reading Inside Mac, to learn that no compression is used to store fonts on disk, and that fonts were indeed limited to only 32K of memory space, therefore limiting fonts in point size and/or number of characters. This was Volume IV or so, has this situation changed? I see your point about Display PostScript, it certainly eliminates the need for screen fonts.
