So I can see these in the system fonts menu, and they do look great -
much better at smaller sizes than with TTCFont. However, if I try to
choose one, I get an MNU for #actualTextStyles. Also, when
selected/inverted, they suddenly look awful, like a horribly aliased
1-bit version of themselves. Is this expected?
