Where's  the difference between free fonts and 'professional' fonts? Both 
print simple rectangles. I only can imagine that growing up font size a true 
type font may not maintain same height/width ratio, but if this would be so 
then I would expect that it should happen for free fonts as well as 
'professional' fonts?
