	There seems to be another TrueType related problem.  Try this.
Go into MacWrite II.  Type some text with a TrueType face.  Looks
fine, right?  Increase it to, say, 500pt.  Whoops!  The spacing is
right, but the characters are far to small.  Now put it back at, say,
18pt.  Go over to the view menu and go to Reduced View.  Looks ugly,
doesn't it?

	According to one of the Readme files that came with TrueType,
the error for all this is in MacWrite II - not in TrueType.  People
are told that Claris will soon be releasing a maintenence upgrade
"Call Claris Technical Support"

	Who knows, this may be related to the Quark/TrueType bug that
someone mentioned earlier...

	I have a feeling that some apps aren't going to be happy with
TrueType under System 7.0...
