Subject: Duplicate font entries in Word 4.0?

I have just installed a (large) number of screen fonts in
my System file using the Font/DA Mover.

After doing this I find that Word 4.0 creates duplicate
entries in the font menu, thusly:

	.
	.
	.
	B American Typewriter Bold
	B Avant Garde Demi
	B Avant Garde Demi
	B Avant Garde Demi
	B Avant Garde Demi
	B Avant Garde Demi
	B Benguiat Bold
	.
	.
	.

Other applications seem to create perfect font menus.
I have tried the following:

  - disabling all INITs
  - using Suitcase II and placing the screen fonts in one
    external file.
  - using Suitcase II and placing the screen fonts in several
    external files.
  - changing to Word 4.0A

.. but without luck. (When using several external files the
symptoms changed a bit - now a number of font entries *disappeared*,
as well).


Are there any known bugs in Word 4.0/4.0A that might have to do
with this?

Any workarounds?

Environment:

	8Mb Mac IIcx
	System 6.0.4


In advance thanks,
