	Well, the Apple Customer Assistance Center (ha!) proved
utterly useless, so I'll bring this problem to the net:

Set-Up:	Macintosh SE/30 2mb RAM, 40mb HD
	System 6.0.7
	Inits:  Init CDEV 3.0, TrueType 1.0

Problem: I have the Helvetica TrueType font and the N Helvetica Narrow
bitmap installed.  When I select Helvetica, N Helvetica Narrow appears
on the screen.  (I haven't tested results on a printer).  This occurs
only in type sizes where the N Helvetica Narrow bitmap is available.

Thus, with N Helv Narrow 12, 18, 20, and 24 bitmaps installed, regular
TrueType Helvetica will erroneously display as N Helv Narrow at 12,
18, 20, and 24 point sizes, but will display correctly as TrueType
Helvetica at all other sizes.

Any ideas?
