Has anyone else experienced the following problem with the font
manager on a 3.3 320 VGX?

This code puts up a test string twice: first in single matrix mode,
then (after clicking LEFTMOUSE) switches to viewing matrix mode.

The bug is this:  After switching to mmode(MVIEWING), the string
is truncated to just the first character (with certain fonts greater
than 30 points).

The code runs fine on non-VGX, non-3.3 machines.  Is this a 3.3 bug,
a VGX bug, or both?

Thanks,

Paul Kelaita
