Really? I have a few 10pt fonts flying about generated verbatim from
their truetype originals. Verdana, Arial and Tahoma are the best. There
are some silly artifacts in places but nothing I'd cry about.

That's the responsibility of the font engine, really. I wouldn't want
Olli implementing it in V, if Richard Griffiths could just put it in
ttf.library instead. He's been promising proper "family" support for
ages now. Shall we remind him?
