The simplest way to get the null in is to use Font/DA Mover.  It will put
in a null if the DA is missing it.  I don't know if all versions do this,
but the latest one does.

Does anyone know why there is supposed to be a null there?  IM says it
is to avoid conflicts with file names, but who cares if a DA and a file
have the same?
