If you are using the TruType INIT with System 6, then I have this
advice for you: wait for System 7! We (myself and several others
here at Otago Uni) have had many problems with the TrueType INIT.
Myself, I had a weird glitch with Word 4 which caused it to wrap
all its lines in the middle of the page rather than at the right
margin. Others here have had similar depressing experiences with
other packages (although I don't know the details). I gave up on
the INIT, and am now waiting for System 7 to come and fix all the
problems :-)

If you *are* using System 7, then maybe I don't want it any more
(arrgh, what am I saying??!! :-) Looking forward to May 13th!
