	Yup.  Though there are now two separate fonts: on for titles, etc, and
the other for consoles (which must be fixed width _for the time being_).

	Yup.

	If they use console.device, they should be ok (things will wrap if
need be).  Of course, this assumes they didn't specify topaz 80 or 60
themselves.
