This is a known "feature" of MacDraw, which stores text information with the
notation of which font within the system was used. That means, for example,
that it doesn't remember that you used Geneva, but that you used whatever font
occurs "second" (whatever that means) within the resources of your System file.

If you can remember the exact system you used to create these files, you might
be able to recreate the fonts in their order. Perhaps if you've simply added
a few fonts since you made these files, you could try just deleting the new
ones. Good luck. If you have a copy of that system file, you're home free. If
all else fails and you can remember the fonts you used originally, it probably
won't take TOO much time to change them back by hand - select the text and
choose the font, and remember that many may be selected at once.

A final tip - if you save all MacDraw files as PICT files, this problem does
not occur. See the save dialog box.
