I've read here about people replacing the Monaco 9 and Chicago 12
fonts (in ROM) on their machines with modified versions of the fonts
(as font files). I'd like to replace my Monaco 9 with a font named
"Programmer 9" that I took out of the program "Alpha". ("Programmer"
is identical to Monaco, except that you can tell the difference
between O 0 I l -- the 0 is narrower than the O, and the bottom of the
l is bent. In Monaco, each pair of letters looks identical, which is
annoying.)
How do you do it? I've tried two methods:
- Removing the `resf' and `FRSV' resources (there is one of each) from
the System. This made Monaco 9 appear in my System file when I opened
it in the Finder. I renamed "Programmer 9" to "Monaco 9", but
whenever I tried to display the font by double-clicking on the file or
drag it into the System file, my machine (which had 1.5M free)
complained that it was out of memory.
- Leaving the System intact, and using the Font/DA Mover 4.1 to
option-open the "Programmer 9" font file and move it into the system.
This worked; however, the old Monaco kept appearing instead of the
version I was trying to replace it with.
I'm running System 7.0, of course, on a Mac SE. Can anyone shed some
light on this subject?
Thanks for any help!
