At this antediluvian institution, we rasterise all = our downloaded PS
fonts so that we have enough room to download them = onto small-brained
Laserwriters: it works very efficiently, it is surely = a waste of
computing power to keep doing something that can be = done once and for
all (and,if you take some care) to a better = standard!  But it is
really "horses for courses" as usual, so a = general purpose system
needs to allow flexibilty in areas like this.

Heh, great, if we dont need to worry about fudamental = Tex problems
then we can finish it in about one-tenth of the = time!  But would it be
worth having: "papering over the cracks" is = what it's all about, I'm
afraid.
