Two other things to consider when moving fonts into stacks are
copyrights and limited use.

Copyrights: Just because you are technically able you aren't legally
able to install any and every font any and everywhere.

The other thing to think about is limited use.
Let's say that I have installed the font "Slime" into a stack.
Let's also suppose that I have installed the point sizes for
9 and 12.

If a person who has Slime 9,12,14,18,20,... in their system
he won't see sizes higher than 12.  Use of the font in the stack
inhibits use of the font in either the app or the system.
So if you do install fonts make sure you install all of the necessary
sizes.

I have installed fonts into 2.0 stacks with no prob.  I also have
converted stacks that had fonts in them to 2.0 no prob.

I also have run them with 7.0 no prob.
What do the people at Apple DTS say?

Ant Man!
