The Type 3 fonts do this because there's so much
PostScript interpreting going on ('til things get
cached). I've been trying different things with these
fonts off and on (I maintain that archive) and have great-
but unpredictable- trouble with some of them.
I >was< trying to test them heavily before reinstalling
them in the archives, but the demand has been so great,
that I am now packing them up for installation as is. I'm
hoping bug reports will steer me towards the ones that
need the most work.
