Indeed, that is one of the most irritating oversights in XyWrite -- the
level of complaint when a font in a style is not present. But, in fairness,
nobody could conceive of the present day font explosion when XyWrite was
being actively programmed. One wishes there would be a warning, of course,
just a little less unpleasant than what XyWrite does now. It should print,
after all, just with a different font.

Sure -- especially putting repetitive text into styles -- was that ever
considered entirely legit?
