Actually, you can draw to the display with any font you like; just
symlink it to the AbiSuite/fonts/ dir and add an entry for it to
fonts.dir. You can use any font you like, including a Unicode TTF
font. I do not think it is necessarily a bad idea to have our own font
directory and fonts.dir file, I would hate to see all the fonts available
on my machine listed in the AW font list. Nor is it a bad idea to
ship basic set of fonts with AW, all word processors do that. What
I do want, is the ability to add any font I like to this list or take it off.
Tomas
