Message-ID: <3024@shodha.enet.dec.com> Date: 26 Apr 91 03:43:30 GMT Sender: news@shodha.enet.dec.com Reply-To: m_herodotus@csc32.enet.dec.com (Mario Herodotus) Organization: Digital Equipment Corp (CX03 1/J3), Colorado Springs, Co 80919 Lines: 30 -- I hope you can help me with a question...on a Macintosh what is used to tell the Bitmap font which outline font to use? In other words, how does the Mac know to use BalleEng when I select Ballet Engraved from the font menu? I tried using ResEdit to find the referance, but it wasn't obvious enough for me and I searched the bitmap file for the string "BalleEng" but it wasn't there. What I'd like to do is rename the bitmap font and the outline font. The reason (cause I know you guys are gonna ask) is that I've used FontMonger to put only one character into a font, I use this character often, now I want to be able to keep both copies of the outline in the system folder for easy access...I can't do that if they both have to have the same name. Any help would be appreciated.
