The FOND resource (new to system 3.x and the new ROMs) has FOND resources.
Included in each FOND (there is a FOND for each font family) is a listing of
the various sizes of fonts that are present.  This table is the next to last
entry in the FOND resource, and at least ResEdit 1.0D12 contains a template
for FONDS.

Anyway, simply extending this entry, telling the resource number and size of
your new font, should extend the system so that it really recognizes your new
size of font.  Your long method simply did this the hard way.

Font/DA Mover 3.x and beyond handle and create FOND resources as needed.
