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.
