Has anyone heard news about the mythical GDOS + driver upgrade that will
support outline fonts?  If Atari isn't going to do it, maybe someone else
will.  Atari might even license it.  Outline fonts for GDOS would mean that
you could use one set of fonts for all screens and printers in any size
desired.  I would think that anyone who currently makes a GDOS program would
be extremely interested in seeing this happen.  The new screen driver to
support outline fonts might even be optimized to make auto-folder patches
unnecessary to improve VDI drawing speed.

Comments anyone?
