The NFNT numbers can be anything you want... it is the FOND numbers that are used to determine what font is used. I am not sure just why Font Harmony renumbers the FONDs, but it does. I just used ResEdit to re-set the FOND IDs back to what they were. I used the LaserWriter distribution IDs as a base, for the common fonts. Marc Kaufman (kaufman@Neon.stanford.edu)
