(Caution: twisty road ahead) If you didn't understand the interaction
between the Font Manager and the Resource manager under the old ROMs, this
article will only confuse you more.

In the new world of FONDs, to renumber a FONT by hand you must:

1.) Renumber the FOND.
2.) Open the FOND (you'll need a version of ResEdit recent enough that it
knows about the internal structure of FONDs.
Scroll it to the end. You'll find a list of point sizes - resource id
pairs. Renumber each resource id.
3.) Open FONTs as general (i.e., with the option key held down.) (you do
this to turn off ResEdit's funky way of telling you what fonts are
available.)
4.) Renumber that evil font. Don't forget point size 0, which holds the
name for everybody using the old ROM font manager.

The current version of Font/DA Mover, version 3.2 (displayed on the
menu bar while Font/DA Mover is running) is supposed to automatically
generate FONDs if they are missing, and it is supposed to renumber any new
FONT so it doesn't conflict with the Fonts you already have installed.
(FONDs exist so that their resources CAN be renumbered.) It may be that the
Font/DA Mover can't work its magic if the FONT has a number that conflicts
with Apple's.

(I have a soft spot in my heart for burdvax.PRC.Unisys.COM. I use to work
at the end of a basement corridor there when it was Burroughs Research
and Development Vax at Information Modelling and Management, Federal
and Special Systems Group, Burroughs Corporation.)
