AmigaDOS lets you select proportional fonts for icons, menus and the like. However, can you use colorfonts? (I'm thinking of taking advantage of the default shades of grey in the ADOS 2.0 Workbench to use an anti-aliased font) Also, how much support is there for the Really High Resolution modes? Are there programs that work with it NOW? I'm thinking word processors, mostly.

I have used colorfonts for icons, menus, etc. The program has to be written to accept them, though, and many are not yet properly written. LOTS of software is going to work fine in 2.0, but will default to the old font sizes rather than the user chosen ones. Eventually, it will all catch up.
