Hi guys!
First of all - since noone has said it:
Thank you Doug for doing this grunt work! I for one appreciate it a lot.

Ehrm. Why can't the fonts live their lives as packages?! Packages,
packages, packages!! (he chants hysterically while looking like a
maniac)
I mean, we have been talking about getting the Apple fonts removed for
*ages*. And now when Doug finally takes the time and effort to do it...
Anyway IMHO "removing them" just means that there is a Basic image that
doesn't have them. So that the license for Basic can eventually drop
that stuff about the Apple fonts.
Now - wether we can/should have the fonts loaded back in Full or simply
have them available on SM so that *anyone* can write their own
loadscript/distro on top of Basic and get it back - well, that hasn't
been discussed AFAIK.
