NY 12 and Geneva 9 were intact. Forgetting that I had removed Geneva 12, I called up a document created with it. It had a bizarre appearance on screen and when printed. When FONT and STYLE menus pulled down, GENEVA and 12 POINT were checked. It appears that the MAC invents its own replacement for a missing font. Also no way to tell the font you want is absent is a different size is present. 2) Usually when transferring an application from one disk to another, the Icon being copied remains in its original position as a ghost is pulled over the the other disk icon. However, several times the application icon disappearred from the file work window as I did it making me think it was being moved and deleted rather than copied. I could not duplicate the file because of inadequate space. However, when the copy was completed, the copied file was still buried under the icon of the original disk. I was able to uncover it and move it back into the working window. No loss but somewhat confusing. -------
