Message-ID: <751@decwrl.DEC.COM> Date: Mon, 27-Jan-86 17:05:59 EST Article-I.D.: decwrl.751 Posted: Mon Jan 27 17:05:59 1986 Date-Received: Wed, 29-Jan-86 04:09:34 EST Sender: daemon@decwrl.DEC.COM Organization: Digital Equipment Corporation Lines: 20 Well, to summarize comments to my question as to if a font, installed in a DOCUMENT file, should show up in the Font menu: Several people correctly indicated that the Mac searches for resources in the order of Application, then System, and that it SHOULD work if the font were installed in the APPLICATION (note this is NOT the DOCUMENT, which is not searched automatically (nor explicitly by MacWrite)). However, nobody indicated if they had TRIED this. So, I did. I installed an obscure font into the MacWrite application using ResEdit. This font was NOT installed in the System. When I then brought up MacWrite, the font WAS available. So, we've counted the teeth of the horse... Thanks for the responses. Jeff
