This is requiring me to recall something from much too long ago, but at one
time -- on some now well out-of-service computer -- I did have something called
"Tinyfont", and probably even put it to some use or other. I think it may have
been a 5 point or 6 point typeface ? But I am doubting that this ever plugged
into XyWrite (even Xy-3) in any way. (I could be wrong about that, though.)
There was a period, around the mid to late 1980s, when for a time I was rather
involved with things typographical. We had access to these big software
binders of them. Major packages that let you roll off a lot of fonts to order,
if it wasn't already represented in their existing library. This was way
outside of and maybe even before the Xy or Signature Speedo stuff. If I was to
look at much of that today, it would probably register about like Sanskrit.
Carl, if you develop some well-tested, cool-looking setups that are in
ready-to-use config files, I would be interested to try them out.

I have added two new config file directives: FONTBOLD and
FONTBOIT, which like FONTITAL are used to optionally specify the
bold and bold italic versions of the font.
