Hi,

I append two short files.  One is a couple of fixes for 1.0.5.3 to compile on 
Solaris 9
with gcc 3.4.x, and the other is some very simple changes in two Scheme files to
clarify the distinction between TrueType fonts (Microsoft  proprietary) and 
Type 1
(publicly-available) fonts.  There is sever confusion in TeXmacs on this point, 
because
when a user wants, for example, to produce PDF output containing only scalable 
fonts,
TeXmacs presents only a "TrueType" choice.  The large set of CM fonts available 
in
Type 1 form is by no means TrueType.  There are also EC variants in Type 1 form.
