    Sadly, I'm still stuck with OS 9... X is too unstable on this system, 
I think it's bad RAM or something. I'm going to work on it when I have 
more time. Anyway... PhotoShop 6.0.1 on OS 9.2.2 will let me use TT and 
PS fonts and both look fine. AppleWorks 6.1.2 and GraphicConverter 4.4.3 
use both but the PS fonts look clunky and won't antialias. I can't find 
any programs that don't recognize the fonts, but a lot of stuff that 
won't handle them the right way. So I was wrong, it is an application 
issue instead of an OS kink.
