[Squeakfoundation]re: TrueType font support and 3.6

[Andreas Raab]

Completely agree. 

BTW, Tim, does *installing* or *using* the TT fonts slow your system down?
If the latter I would claim that that's almost normal - the TT fonts require
more expensive rendering and while a lot of this can (given time) be tweaked
some of it just can't be changed.

Cheers,
  - Andreas
