	I was commenting on what I found displayed in the Character Map
utility... Only a few of my third party fonts had the icon for TrueType;
all the Window's supplied fonts had the icon for OpenType (and then there
are the PostScript fonts from other places -- someday I need to pull my
WinXP box out of storage and reboot it to see if I can find my copy of
Critter; a PostScript font I actually paid money for, but seem to not have
transferred to my newest computers).
