  I don't know about newer versions (MacDraw II), but the original
MacDraws use the position of the font name in your font menu instead of
anything meaningful like a font number or name. (Maybe they fixed it
sometime before MD II, but I don't know the details...) A possible work
around would be to use Suitcase or someting similar to make the font
names on both systems match. Maybe starting off a floppy with the
same font names as the source Mac. Last refuge (just a stab in the
dark): try copying the document to the Scrapbook and then move that to
the other system.

Good luck!
