I recently obtained the Adobe Type Manager for my Mac system (IIx, Laser
Writer IISC, System 6.03, and MasterJuggler). I installed all the outline
fonts in the MasterJuggler folder, as directed, and skeletonized the fonts
contained in my system file to the 10 and 12 point sizes of the Adobe fonts,
which includes the ATM Plus pack, and all the point sizes of Chicago, Geneva,
Monaco, New York, and Neshota. Incidentally, I have point sizes in Geneva
which go from 5 all the way up to 80.
Now everything was going well, I mean there's no denying the printed
output is terrific, until I noticed that several of my applications that
usually use Geneva as a default font for either text or window information
started using Helvetica Narrow instead. This includes Wingz, ResEdit,
Sidekick, and most unfortunately the System itself. For example, the
information in the bottom of the scrapbook window is printed in Helvetica
Narrow.
I wouldn't really mind except that Helvetica Narrow is very difficult
to read on screen at small sizes, so I do find this very annoying. I checked
for font numbering conflicts and found none. I tried to change font resources
in some of the applications and got nowhere. I even ran Disinfectant 1.4,
thinking I might have caught a virus, and no viruses were found. Finally,
I was running MacEnvy and noticed that the default font for the system is
now listed as N Helvetica Narrow.
Did I change the default font, which should be Geneva, just installing
ATM; and if so, how do I correct this? Has anyone else encountered this
problem? Please help. My vision is getting squintier by the minute!
