I posted this before, but I don't think it made it:

It seems that System 6.0 oriented graphics programs, namely Macdraw II and
Canvas 2.0 have a hard time with non Apple fonts.  I mean 3rd party fonts
like Basel, Camelot, NY Inline, oblique, etc.  When I attempt to use these
fonts in either of the above programs they are displayed with drastically
distorted spacing, either all letters on top of each other or spread far apart.
I can't figure out what the problem is.  It only seems to happen in those two
programs. No other graphics or WP programs that I have tried (PixelPaint, MS
Word 3.02, etc.) display this problem.

What's going on?  Is this sytem 6.02?  Or these two programs?  Or the fonts?
Or the strange combination of all three?  The system is a 2 meg Mac II with
system 6.02 and HD40.  I am not using suitcase or master juggler, the fonts
are all in the system.

Anyone else notice this problem?  What do these two programs have that none
others do?

Help!  Thanks...
