[comp.sys.mac.misc] The Mystery of the Missing Font

erf@progress.COM (Eric Feigenson) (06/11/91)

Please excuse me if this is a dumb question, but I'm going slightly
nutz...

The other day, my Mac IIcx crashed rather hard.  So hard, in fact, I
had to reinstall the System file (6.0.5... yes, I'm still to chicken
to go for System 7).  That seemed to do the trick (and thanks to
Norton Utilities to pointing me at a corrupt system file), but I
noticed a *very* odd thing... some applications that I run use the
Monaco font in the 10 point size.  Before the crash, this font
displayed very nicely.  *After* the crash, the font has some serious
problems with the jaggies.  I've verified that it's Monaco 10 by using
my favorite word-processor to duplicate what I saw in my application
(which is MYM 4.0, if anyone cares).  My immediate assumption is that,
once apon a time, I installed a Monaco 10 font in my system file (I
use suitcase II for most fonts, and those suitcases seemed still
active and unharmed, but even so I searched for a suitcase that had
Monaco 10 in it and couldn't) and the fresh system I installed didn't
have it... but wait... as I type this I realize that I only recently
installed 6.0.5, which would imply that it was a fresh system not too
long ago, and it's been recently enough that I'd recall installing a
Monaco 10 font into the system.  So, fellow netters, I ask your help
in solving my mystery:

(1) What happened to my Monaco 10 font?
and
(2) Does anyone know where I can *get* Monaco 10 font to replace the
old one?

If monaco was an ATM font, I'd guess that I didn't have ATM on or the
outline font was trashed, but it's not.  In case this is any help,
here is a system configuration report from MacEnvy:

P.S. I've got lots of inits installed, too, and I'd be glad to tell
you all about them if you think that would help :-)
