With antialiasing the hinting is not really necessary, and without antialiasing the bitmapped versions are recommended anyway. - (Bold) Bitmap version now includes Cyrillic. -- Alex Taylor Fukushima, Japan http://www.socis.ca/~ataylo00 -- For a choice in the future of personal computing, Join VOICE - http://www.os2voice.org [Moderator's note: All posts are sent without guarantee to the accuracy of the content.
