[comp.sys.mac.programmer] Trouble with fonts

rmiller@sbcs.sunysb.edu (Robert Miller) (07/31/90)

I'm trying to install a customized font into my application.  It is
basically Geneva with some symbols added.

I've copied the font into my project's resource file, changed the 
name and the number to those of the new font, and installed a FOND
resource which I'm pretty sure has all the correct values.

The font is recognized by the system without any problem.  The problem
comes in trying to modify the font.  I've used the font editor in 
ResEdit to modify the bitmaps, but it seems to have no effect on the
font.  In fact, the enlarged image on the left corresponds to what I
want, but the actual size image on the right is unchanged after the
window is updated.  Neither KeyCaps nor static text items in Dialog
Boxes reflect the changes.

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong, or if there is a simpler way
to do this?
