Thanks, Jeff. I remembered the system font quirks, but appreciate 

the reference.


FWIW, my only recourse for the time being, is to use Fontographer 

to generate the TT fonts I might need on a regular basis. Of course, I 

can always just go back to Freehand, but that seems a bit clunkier in 

the long run.
