Back to the 'thinking about' stage, even after some implementation efforts.
When I see an ITC person these days (I'm in Computer Science, and I don't even
track what they do), I say 'how about just getting a MacOS X11, so you don't
have to write any more software' Although copying text may be more efficient
than copying the font representation, do you REALLY want to write a Andrew
FileSystem client for the MacOS.
Anyway, no MacoS X11 seems to exist yet, even in beta form.
