Yes.  While using this fonts.alias file makes certain things possible
(such as running the VMS debugger in windows mode, not that anyone
'round here would want to ;-) ), other things, such as BookReader,
don't work too well.  By "not working well" I mean that the text
is displayed in such a "crowded" manner that one word may overlap
another,  rendering the display totally illegible.  Clearly, it's a
problem of not having a font of the correct size.
