[fa.info-mac] Question about keycaps and a possible macwrite bug??

From: Terry "Thunder" Boult <TBOULT@COLUMBIA-20.ARPA>
In the documentation for the Princeton math font it explicitly states that key
caps should work.  I assume, since my keycaps does not show the Princeton keys,
that I have installed the font wrong, (I used the font mover).  Any one out
there know how to make the princeton (or any other home made font) show when
you use key caps?.   Is there any way to the search/change dialog box to use
another font?

As far as the bug goes, I describe what I think I did.  I was typing a line
containing many (~10-14) style and 3 font changes, and noticed nothing out of
the ordinary (I types about 3 of these buggy lines at various places in the
text, and with various content).  Later when I positioned the cursor on the
line the disk drive would go off into never never land, returning only when I
left the line. (All of this was in full justification mode).  Curious I started
makeing chars plain, and then deleting the chars on the line.  When I made the
... (option ; in geneva) plain (it was bold) The center dot was too large.
Upon deleting the char, the disk drive came to a halt.  Pretty wierd I thought,
so I tryed it on another line(with the ... in a different place) and it was
again the case that after deleting the ... the problem went away.  Am I missing
something, has anyone else experinced this?  Or is it all a stroke of fate ...
