Yep.

It seems that they did it on purpose...

Look again (I trust you *have* read the manual...) at the manual
and read the section on adding/subtracting menu items.  You can
add font names that you use normally, and font sizes in addition
to the few that the menu shows.  (My wife wanted New York 96...
I had to build the font for her, even.)

On the other hand, if you muck about in one of the other menus,
you will find a menu item name "Character".  Picking that one will
give you a huge dialog that lets you scroll through all the installed
fonts, and you can pick *any* font size you want (handy if you're
building LaserWritten documents).  

	Have fun,
