I took the trouble to deliberately order my fonts and DA's by copying them
into the system file in reverse order. My problem is that I can't delete
Chicago, Geneva, and Monaco, so they appear at the bottom of the font list.
Does anyone know of a way to "move" these so they appear in the appropriate
place?

It has an option to override the system restrictions on those fonts. I think it's available in "net.sources.mac" (somewhere). -- Alan K.

Try using the ResEdit program, rather than the Font/DA Mover to remove the protected, "system" fonts. While I haven't tried this, I suspect that it will work. Jeff

The recently posted "Menu Sort" application seems to be a better approach. It installs a resource into your system file to automatically sort all fonts and DAs, so that the problem is solved forever. Not only does it take care of the above problem, but when fonts or DAs are added, they are sorted in properly. Check recent postings in net.sources.mac (recent means within the last week!) And MANY thanks to Andy Hertzfield for this great goodie! -Brian Diehm Tektronix, Inc.
