Rex,

I agree that the bytecode interpreter does change the look of the fonts 
dramatically. When I first logged in with the new free type I said WTF... but 
after a couple of days of using it. I have gotten used to it. I do think my 
Wine apps look very good, better than on XP. 

Fonts I am using and yes I have a license for them

Bitstream Vera Sans
Arial
MS Sans Serif
Tms Rmn


lower e's and c's and y's are kinda crufty
