I have seen lots of messages from people saying the Amiga has lousy font
support. I always thought this was strange, as it covers everything very
nicely, except anti-aliasing where RISCos is the leader.
It would still be nice to have a file which listed the whole family,
especially for a font like Helvetica which has about thirty versions.
The standard maps just do 4 versions.
An XML file would be best.
