Just for comparison - In Mac OS 8.6 I can see a very slight difference using fonts that have bitmaps for the size I have chosen (faster), compared to fonts that are only available in TrueType (slower). I might be able to convince myself that a font that has a bold bitmap seems slightly faster than one that doesn't.
For example: Geneva 10 (TrueType and Bitmap) and Espy Sans 10 (bitmap only) seem to refresh at about the same rate, but faster than Arial 10 (which is TrueType only). My Espy Sans font has Espy Sans Bold 10, however, and that _might_ be refreshing a tiny bit faster than Geneva 10 for Boldfacing. All in all - it doesn't seem that significant to me - and I am using a pretty slow computer. Powerbook 1400cs/117, Mac OS 8.6, 64MB RAM, RamDoubler 9 -- Don V.
