[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] HyperCard FONTs - a la Danny Goodman

dmittman@beowulf.JPL.NASA.GOV (David Mittman) (11/30/90)

Just a note jotted down about the FONT discussion:

In "The Complete HyperCard 2.0 Handbook" by Danny Goodman, 3rd edition,
Danny writes:

"To guarantee that the font will be available to your stack, however,
you may attach a font resource to the stack." (pp. 745)

"If the user's System contains a font with the same number as one you've
created and installed in a stack, the System font will override the stack's
font." (pp. 745-746)

I believe the first quote is contrary to a stated philosophy and the
second quote is contrary to conventional wisdom. Comments appreciated.
