    I haven't heard of anyone trying to write TrueType compilers for the GS, 
but by all means, go for it!  You will probably have to do some serious 
patching to the Font Manager and QuickDraw II.  I won't be able to help 
write it, but count me in as a beta tester!  :)  Maybe we can get a 
StyleWriter driver out of your project...
