Every time I try and use TTF fonts, I find that my code panes can lose
their marbles in interesting ways. Either a Red Rectangle of Death (no
fun), or the insertion point losing its place when typing quickly
(also no fun). This is on an Intel mac and (I think) the latest VM
(I'll check when I'm back home).
So, I tend to stick with bitmapped fonts in my image because I haven't
got the faintest idea where to look to begin fixing the issue.
