I got the TrueType stuff off of Apple.com yesterday, and I have
been using it with SuitCase without any problems. I used the same
procedure for teh TrueType fonts as I use for bitmap fonts.

I read somewhere that if you have a bitmap version of a font the
system will choose it instead of the TrueType font. I'm not sure
about this, but I think that if you have two different definitions
of a font the system will probably choose the one in the system because 
it will search the system file after it finds that the font is not
installed in the application or the document. Since the font is installed
in the system it never gets a chance to see whether it is installed
elsewhere by Suitcase or whatever.

All of this is pure conjecture, so if someone who really knows finds 
any blatant errors I hope they will correct them.
