The 4/87 issue of MacUser has a cute article "One D A at a time" on how to patch Font/DA Mover v. 3.2 so that it shouldn't stop installing DA's when it hits ID#27. It's great, I recommend reading and using it. Before this I used to install my three dozen DA's manually into the system. What a waste of time. If you have Font/DA Mover version 3.4 then you got to modify the patches: instead of searching for 001A 5EC0 (see page 124, column 1, line -14), you just search for 001A 5EC and replace 001A by 002F (convert back to decimals and you will know what it means). If you are already resediting Font/DA Mover version 3.4 then open up the STR# stuff and you're gonna get surprised by one of the warning there! Good luck. Paul Nevai (I love OPs)

On early versions of the Font/DA mover one used to
be able to attach a font to a document so that that font
would override any fonts installed in the system file.
This was useful for people who were sharing hard disks.
To attach a font to a document you just held down the option
key while clicking the open button in the Font/DA dialog
box. This doesn't seem to work anymore. Does anyone know
what happened to this feature?
