ResEdit uses a 'styl' resource with the same id number as the 'TEXT' resource
to associate style information with a 'TEXT' resource, so that is what I go
with. I also include another, private resource, for use by my program, that
is a list of <integer, pascal string of font name> pairs, with padding as
necessary to start the integer on an even boundary. I ccreate this by scanning
the style runs in the 'styl' resources. This lets me adjust a file when I 
move it to a different mac that has different numbers for its fonts. Is
there any standard for this font name table?
