Can this special treatment be overcome? You're gonna need a ROM burner to overcome this problem. Seems when Apple saw all the extra room in the 256K (or was it the 128K) ROMs, they decided to stick the standard fonts, Chicago 12, Geneva and Monoco 9 along with the arrow cursor, into the ROMs. The copies in the System file are for backward compatibility with your every-day 128K Mac (RAM, not ROM). ------------------------------------------------------------------ Lunarmobiscuit (Luni) Internet Address: MacMach Project ml10@andrew.cmu.edu Carnegie Mellon University ------------------------------------------------------------------
