All this talk about bitmap font scaling reminds me that the 2.0 font
preferences program lacks a way to use the scaling feature. Sometimes,
eg. while doing a program demo for a larger audience, it would be good
to be able to scale up some font. While at it, add a "Test" button as
well, it's a little bit annoying to have to re-scan the fonts every
time (since the window always close when you select "Use").
  It would of course also be good to have possibilities (maybe in a
separate program) to manipulate and make disk fonts out of other
fonts. A new font editor?
