First, I suggest you contact NeXT Technical Services and request a copy of 
the document, "Fonts in NextStep(R)." This presents a good discussion of 
adding fonts to the NextStep environment.

Second, the 0.9 version of WriteNow does not work with additional fonts. 
This bug is unfortunate. There is one step that you're missing though.

After you install your new fonts in /LocalLibrary/Fonts or ~/Library/Fonts 
you will need to run a program from any shell prompt to update the Font Panel.

	/usr/bin/buildafmdir ~/Library/Fonts   , or
	/usr/bin/buildafmdir /LocalLibrary/Fonts      as the case may be.

Once you've installed all of the necessary font files and run the above 
program, try running Edit. It uses the Font Panel properly.

Hope this helps.
