There's no need to fear!  Underdog is hear!!

(no frog).

In "The Macintosh Bible" (Naiman et al) which just happens to be at
work (where I ain't) there is a very nice discussion of JUST THIS PROBLEM.
Briefly what I remember:  Fonts get numbers.  Due to various reasons,
there are 128 numbers available (forshadowing (a literary device)).
If you have conflicts, you get fonts renumbered.  And then you go elsewhere.
Even if they have the right #'s, you don't!!  And then you fix it, there
or whereever, and then you take it home and you have yet more number conflicts!
I think this'll give you an idea what's up.  Get the book (Naisman? Naiman?),
read the book, live the book.  It's great.  Not perfect, but close.
If there isn't more by the time I get to work, I'll try to extract/compact
his discussion on fonts.
