Yeah, I'm mostly looking for a way to squeeze out some more space for |
| 11 |
the GameCD, so I can make some CDs smaller and so I can fit some bigger |
| 12 |
games (America's Army, anyone?) on a single CD. |

I'm not sure that any of the binary released games use any fonts, but it |

Next release, they say, but I can't remember how long the ATI product |
| 25 |
cycle is for driver releases. I think it is something like every 2 |
| 26 |
months, which means we're still something like 7 weeks away from a new |
| 27 |
release. |
