MacWrite II has this feature as well.  I use a number (though not 25)
of truetype fonts, and I don't have any problem with the delay you
describe.  I suggest keeping the 12 point bitmap version of your fonts
along with the truetype.  BTW, the features list of the latest version
of MacWrite II (v1.2v3) lists improved handling of truetype fonts at
small sizes as one of the enhancements.  Anybody know what it does
differently?
