Does anybody know how SetOutlinePreferred works?  Does it set a global?
Where?

The reason I ask is that my app, after a short time of use, seems to
be doing what IM6 seems to say (it's pretty vague) SetOutlinePreferred
does; makes the system use scaled TrueType fonts instead of bitmap ones.
Since I'm certainly not calling SetOutlinePreferred (don't even have the
glue for it), I can only assume I'm stepping on something.  If I knew
what was being stepped on, I could catch it with a Step Spy.

I've tried tracing _FontDispatch, but my knowledge of 68000 assembler
just isn't good enough to follow it without getting hopelessly muddled.

So, does anybody know what SetOutlinePreferred actually does?
