I just downloaded the new TrueType fonts with ZTerm in the background without
a hitch.  I've done background downloading in System 6.0.3 - 7.0b4 without
any problems.  Are you using the current version?

Something tells me Dave doesn't even own (perhaps never used) a Mac.  Not a
flame, but I wish that kind of misinformation didn't get posted.  While any
experienced Mac user will know it to be false, there are some new-comers or
potential new-comers that will believe it, wasting their time waiting for
a download to complete and having, perhaps spreading, a misconception of
what a Macintosh can and can't do.
