	Not real sure I can tell you what you need to know, but from
	where I see it, since the application will pick the color of
	the text, in that sense, CG-Fonts do not support colored letters.
	I'd guess its all in the application program that use the CG-Fonts.
	I'd also guess that the only information available in the font.dat
	is strictly for forming the letter/number, and no color information
	is available. But........I'm probably wrong.......later...
