Hmm. I've run into a snag in the snazzy new "No Font/DA mover needed"
System 7 interface. How on earth can you add fonts to applications?
I'm developing a little application which I want to use a non-standard
bitmap font in one of its windows. It used to be I could just use the
Font/DA mover to paste the necessary font resources into the
application's resource fork so that it could be sure they would always
be available. Nowadays, System 7 won't let me run Font/DA mover at
all, and I can't figure out how to coax the Finder into letting me
drag a font into an application. Anyone know of a solution?
