An important difference between Font/DA Mover and (REdit, ResEdit,
RMover) is that when moving desk accessories, the Font/DA Mover tries
to move other resources owned by the DA.  With something like
ResEdit, you have to take care to move these resources yourself.

There are also problems with renumbering the owned resources since
when you move a DA from one file to another, its resource ID might
change (which changed its owned resources' IDs).

I don't know what the Desk Accessory Mover did, but my impression is
that is also tried to account for owned resources.

For fonts, however, I think you can safely use ResEdit, et al.
