AppleWorks GS1.1 - Whats the problem now?



 
I have recently been encountering problems with AppleWorks GS1.1 where 
during a letter composition in the Word Processor, the software locks up.
 
Yesterday, I was trying to write a letter with AWGS and by the time I got 
to the second paragraph in the letter, everything would lock up and the 
only way to restore the operation of the program would involve a system 
reset. This would lose any data entered in the word processor.

I am currently running AWGS from my hard drive into a ROM1GS with 4MEGs 
of RAM and a 7MHz ZIP. My system files eat up alot of memory and I have 
recently upgraded my Pointless 1.0 to version 2.01

I hate to think that Pointless is messing up my AWGS1.1 however, the 
problem started soon after installing it. Has anyone else been having 
system lockup problems with AWGS1.1? If you have, what was the problem 
and how did you fix it?
 
Final Note: After 1.5 hours of system lockups and system resets while 
trying to type that letter yesterday, I never did finish it. I will try 
deactivating Pointless today and reloading the AWGS1.1 files into the 
hard drive. We'll see what happens.

One More thought...  I remember reading that there are some True Type 
fonts that have been responsible for messing up Pointless. (ie. Chicago)
There were some Mac TTFonts that mess up Pointless. Does anyone have any 
detailed info about the TTFonts that mess up Pointless and how to 
differentiate them from the good ones?
