TrueType is compatible with A/UX 2.0.1.  As far as CommandShell is
concerned, you're not doing anything wrong, because CommandShell only
supports mono-spaced fonts, such as Monaco and Courier.  Since Times,
etc. are not mono-spaced, they do not appear in CommandShell's font
menu.  If you try another application (e.g. MacWrite II) you should 
see the other TrueType fonts.
