System 6.0.7 [happened under 6.0.5, too]; HyperCard 2.0, ATM 2.0.

I have only 10- and 12-point sizes of most LaserWriter fonts actually installed
as bitmaps.  Until I changed the startup script, every time I opened the Home
stack I would be informed that I didn't have Palatino 14, 24 installed.  The
fonts on screen were rendered well by ATM, however.

BTW, to stop Hypercard 2.0's font complaints, find the following line in the 
"on startup" script [in script of the Home stack] and comment it out.

     checkForMissingFonts -- inform user of missing fonts
