i tend only to use three or four fonts, so more fonts i don't need.  i
made a few changes myself, but i put them in site.def (mistakenly?  it
works for me) instead of host.def.

read that, too.  still not much that actually affects me that i
haven't already done.

i was getting something much worse that looks a lot better now.  i'm
just wondering about the possibility (or ramifications) of
integration.
