This is correct. QuickDraw only knows how to draw bitmap fonts. If a font
shows up in your Font menu then you have a bitmap version of it in the System.

I haven't been able to find them on my SE, either. Does the SE have
problems with the "overstrike" characters?

By the way, I'd sure like to see an extension to KeyCaps that shows all
the available "hidden" characters. It's sure a pain to try to remember
all the key strokes that lead to hidden characters and then try them
all to see if the character you're looking for is hidden.
