Subject: Problems with the new fantizi in ByX/chtex

I just printed Jingbai's PostScript document in fantizi.  Here are some
problems:

1) The font isn't very attractive, but it'll do for now--particularly if
   Yongxin and Jingbai will make a free upgrade available.  :-)

2) The fantizi are mainland-style fantizi.  For example, `ti3' `body' is
   written differently (the third stroke replaces two strokes in the orthodox
   form).

3) Some of the fantizi aren't even available.  A brief scan over this document
   turned up the following errors:  `hou4' `after', `me' (as in `shen2me'),
   `kuang4' (as in `qing2kuang4'--fanti form has a `san1 dian3 shui3').
