Hmm. I've run into a snag in the snazzy new "No Font/DA mover needed" System 7 interface. How on earth can you add fonts to applications? I'm developing a little application which I want to use a non-standard bitmap font in one of its windows. It used to be I could just use the Font/DA mover to paste the necessary font resources into the application's resource fork so that it could be sure they would always be available. Nowadays, System 7 won't let me run Font/DA mover at all, and I can't figure out how to coax the Finder into letting me drag a font into an application. Anyone know of a solution? -- Jim Elliott "Like a bridge he'll come between us, not a wall" elliott@veronica.cs.wisc.edu

why not use Font/DA Mover Version 4.1? It does work with 7.0. (Compat check says "compatible") It also lets you create new suitcases if you need them. Hope that helps. Oliver.

Available from ftp.apple.com in the >dts/mac/tools/resedit directory. Yes, yes... I could use ResEdit, but I thought that there were intricacies involved in making sure that the right FOND for the NFNT was installed, and such like, that F/DA mover would take care of for me so I wouldn't have to re-read the new Font Manager section in IM every time. Turns out that F/DA mover 4.1 is what I want; now I just need to figure out which of the TrueType disk images contains it. -- Jim Elliott "Like a bridge he'll come between us, not a wall" elliott@veronica.cs.wisc.edu
