I got that on my system because it was using Helvetica for the font, and
the sizes defined didn't match the bitmaps: I solved it by simply creating
a Helvetica "face", and remapping all of the fonts to the resizable Truetype
"Arial".

Actually, it scales it to the size mentioned in "Template". If it finds a
font
on your system that matches the font in the src, it basically takes the font
sizes from Template and uses them.
So if you defined sizes 10,11,12,13,14,16,18 then they'll be used for any
font. They're the sizes I use, BTW, for all my Truetype fonts.
The best way is to configure it to remap all your bitmap fonts (such as
Times or Helvetica) to scalable ones: the aforementioned fonts can easily
be replaced by CGTimes and CGTriumvirate which come with AmigaOS
anyway.
Umm.. Maybe they should be made defaults, actually?
