	Well, the main difference is SPEED.. It now generates the font
a character at a time "as you need it".  So no more waiting for a
little purple cursor to fill.  And even when you are generating the
whole font, it doesn't delay noticable. (note: this is on a Zip'ed
system, but I assume it won't delay much on a non-accelerated system
since it seems to take about the same time as using a normal font..)

Note: I have no affiliation with Westcode, just a satisfied customer..
