Attached are alphamorph.gif, an exported GIF from a TextMorph
containing the characters, and alphabetgood.gif, created with
another program. (The color isn't quite black on that one, but that
should make no difference, I hope.)

Notice that the characters are more bold, because they are outlined
in black, and that the descenders are lost on some letters (g, j, p,
q, y), and that the tops of some letters (B, Q, R, f) are cut off.

It seems to me that this basically isn't working, but I'm not seeing
what's up. Help will be welcome ... thanks.
