Hi Graham,

I'm sure you realize that you can use TT fonts. It is variable width
fonts that aren't listed - for *very* good reason.
You can use variable pitch fonts by employing a registry hack (ask if
you want it - I will publish it for you). Alternatively (as many of us
have done) you can go cruising for decent fixed pitch TT font (like
Andale Mono). You see, with fixed pitch fonts, WYSIWYG plain text
becomes a reality. IMHO that is one of the real glories of TB!
Allowing variable fonts would break the right, centre and justify
presentation modes and only allow left aligned paragraphs. That's a
lot of feature to lose.
