    That's why I didn't run into the problem yet.  My commonly used
Truetypes all have their respective 10- and 12-point bitmaps saved on
disk already.  I tried New Century Schoolbook (which doesn't have a
bitmap on disk) and it hung the system.  BTW, why did you have to go
back to System 6.0 to make those 1-point fonts?  I just made a bunch of
them from System 6.01...

    Related question:  Is there a utility that can generate batches of
bitmaps from a Truetype?  I would like to have 10, 12, 25 and 30-point
bitmaps of all my installed Truetypes (my most commonly used screen and
printer sizes).  Rather than doing it by hand, I would like a utility
which takes batch input and automatically creates all the bitmaps I want.
