That's not a complaint, is it, Brian? <hehe>

It seems like the problem is when using the Choose Font option when there
are no bit mapped fonts present. The system will just freeze. It's happened
to me, and a bunch of other members of my user group, and it's happened to
WestCode. I ended up saving each one of my TT fonts as a 1 point bit map
font (while using System 6) and then re-installed 6.0.1 and that problem
went away.

The problem may not happen with GWIII, because it uses a non-standard Font
Choosing method.
