	I have both TrueType and bitmapped fonts in my System File (7.0).
	My questions are:

	1. Should I removed all of my bitmapped fonts in favor of their
	   TrueType equivalent?  Meaning if I have both a TrueType Times
	   font and all the Times bitmapped fonts, should I removed all my
	   bitmapped Times fonts from the System File?

	2. I heard that documents created with TrueType fonts will create
	   huge postscript files that includes the font description, instead
	   of just using the printer font.  Is this true?  If so, how do I
	   work around this?  BTW: I heard that this problem also existed
	   when using ATM.

	3. Last question - Is an italicized Times font equal to the Times
	   Italic font?  If not, when should I choose one over the other?

	As usual any and all help is greatly appreciated.


	Happy windowing,

	=Mike
