The hand cursor (and the paint tools, etc.) are stored in a font
contained in HyperCard.  BUT that font does not have a FOND resource.
So if you have ANOTHER font with the same font number that does have
a FOND resource, then your font will override the HyperCard font.
The culprits found so far:  Bodoni font; certain color fonts.
So to fix it you need to add a FOND to HyperCard.  If you know what
a FOND is, you presumably know how to do that.
