What I meant to say is that the difference between that output and the
400dpi output was much more subtle than between the NeXT output at 400dpi
and what I throught was 300dpi.  I also should have said "*I* had to look
closely" -- I'm not a font connoisseur (good old on-line Webster :-),
although I have been drawn into my share of cmr vs. TimesRoman battles...
