MacDraw II actually stores the NAME of the font in the  figure, but Word does
not know how to associate the NAME with the font number, and cannot translate
it.  If you imported the MacDraw II documents into MacDraw, and re-saved them
on the IIcx, the font numbers would be changed appropriately.

However, there is an easier way to handle the problem.  Using ResEdit, look
thorugh all the FONDs and FONTs on the SE/30.  Then change the resource number
of the FONDS and FONTs on the IIcx to the same number as the corresponding
name.  If you have been using Suitcase, and Font Harmony, there should not be
any FONTs (well, not many except for the Apple bitmaps) left.  You do NOT have
to change any NFNT numbers, as these are indexed through the FOND.  If you have
FONDs on the IIcx for fonts not on the SE/30, renumber them as needed to avoid
conflicts with the SE/30.  Now, even *Word* documents will import correctly.

Of course, all the work you have done so far will have to be redone (sigh!)
