Monaco 9, Geneva 9 & 12, and Chicago 12 are stored in ROM.  To get the system
to use the versions in the System file, you need to edit the ROv# resource
corresponding to your machine:  117=Mac+, 630=SE, 376=Mac II, 1660=Mac IIfx,
and I'm not sure about other machines.  In the ROv# resource, add the resource
type and ID of the ROM resource you want to override.  For Monaco 9, for
example, you would override FONT 521.  And yes, the Rangers really are out
of the pennant race.
