Question about the new font structure with System 7.0:

Using a terminal program that has its own built in font, the display is
"chunky"... not smooth... guessing that this might have something to do with
the new fonts, i changed the font displayed to Monoco... the display was much
better... maybe even smoother than 6.0.x. Anyway, my question is whether there
will be a conversion utility to change the old fonts to new ones, or will
system 7.0 improve on it's ability to handle the old fonts, or is everything
going to have to be reinvented (as far as fonts are concerned).
