Ahh, that's what I was afraid of.
If we know what font we are displaying, -*-times- for example, then
won't we be able to ask the server for all the fonts that match and
for a given font size check a list and if none matches exactly and
there is no scalable font in the list _then_ the checkbox value
(\use_scalable_fonts ?) decides whether we scale a bitmapped font or
not?
