Luckily my Ubuntu 7.10 has 2.12.xx.  So I'll get an update now (at
home) and give it a spin in GTK2. Oh no! That means I have to recreate
the Raize font again. :-)  I've been postponing this for ages, because
to a lot of effort. Before I manually drew all Raize characters in
FontForge so I could generate bitmap fonts for linux GTK1. Now I'll
have to try and make truetype fonts for GTK2.
