I have the Speedo and Type1 between 100dpi:unscaled and 100dpi, so if the correct size is not found in 100dpi unscaled it will look in type1 *before* trying to scale 100dpi. I've noticed also there are some apps which really want to use 75dpi fonts. Enlightenment seems to be this way, when I didn't have 75dpi fonts the title bars were quite ugly and the tooltips were empty! Installing 75dpi helped. Zeen, -Adam P.
