	Just out of curiousity.. Are there any text applications on the
	Mac or the PC that take advantage of their gray scale abilities.

	It would make the text on the screen appear much sharper than 
	a simple black on white bitmapfont.  In a 4 bit per pixel or 
	8 bit per pixel system, they have to write all the bits in there
	any way.  If you could add gray scale the clarity of the text 
	would be outstanding.
