I installed TrueType on my machine today and discovered a
number of clashes with other INITs I use. Then after some
investigation, I discovered workarounds which I present
below.
1.zDeskPict:
---------
zDeskPict crashed the machine after I installed TrueType. A modal
dialog appeared, but it was so far gone that it couldn't even show
the bomb box properly, but instead just flickered.
The fix I came up with for this is to rename TrueType as zTrueType,
so that it would load after zDeskPict.
2.IconColorizer:
-------------
IconColorizer would not load the icons from the Icon CZ Icon data
file under TrueType, regardless of if it loaded before or after.
The fix I found was to load the icons directly into IconColorizer
with ResEdit.
I hope this helps other people figure things out.

Well, perhaps it's one of those 3-way incompatibilities. Anyway, that's the fix I came up with in one sitting.
