With reference to Macwrite hanging when there are many font changes and
point sizes on the same line:  I am plagued by this problem using both
Princeton and Omnibus/Omnisci fonts.  Example,  I use a 24pt bold contour
integral symbol(omnisci) interspersed with regular 12pt. text.  If I position
the cursor after the contour integral symbol, the machine sometimes accesses
the disk repeatedly until I move the cursor somewhere else.  The only way to
deal with the problem is to delete the text in question.  The problem is not
related to memory - I have run into the same problem when beginning with a
new file. 

This bug makes writing equations very difficult sometimes, and it should
be fixed.
