Go back and figure out which of these *require* TTFs (i.e. won't work with a truly free font format). It's okay if they depend on freetype. JC> The whole point is simple: How far do we want to go? The lines are a lot clearer than you imply. Try looking for them, and you'll see that they're there, and can be described without invoking personal taste.
