Right, we can easily generate a BDF file, but without some place to store the properties that only BDF exposes in the TTF file, we'll lose some data. It's probably not terribly important data, but I think saving all of it is a prerequisite for switching from BDF to SFNT files as the canonical delivery and archival mechanism. -keith
