Ah, this sounds intreguing....how is this done on UNIX systems? Does it
leveredge the various TrueType font servers out there or does it rasterize the
fonts some other way? I use xttfs all the time and it works quite well for
any X application I've tried...love that Comic font under netscape!
I know that XFree86 4.0 is going to have 'native' support for TrueTupe as
well, whenever it appears.

Wow! This is excellent! Is the Flash code derived from the freeware flash
plugin for Netscape? It's been quite a week! Macromedia even released an
official beta flash plugin for Linux too! :)
