I've been playing around with the fonts supplied with NeWS 1.1 and seem
to be having rather a problem with Times-Roman. Scaling it to 20 (pixels)
and then using it to show a small piece of text seems to print out
quite a lot of rubbish. Almost as if some other text were being printed
first, and then only partially erased by the "real" text.

I know NeWS is generally held to be a touch flakey in the area of font
scaling, rotation etc. Am I seeing an example of this, or could there
be some other explanation ? (corrupt fonts ? something worse ?)
