Right, everything goes back to topaz.  The FastFonts program (included
with 1.3 so it is really "supported" gets around this by patching up
the system font list so the OS thinks the font you want to use is named
topaz.  That is, if you do "FF -1 pearl.font", whenever you use topaz.font
in a program you'll get pearl, and vice versa.
