From the responses I think I was slightly misunderstood (I never was real good
at explaining things). -- I realize that in C you should use if(RealFont())...
and not if(RealFont()==TRUE)... as mentioned by many helpful folks.

Only I had tried this earlier and it didn't seem to work (-- a few fixes later
and it now does) so when I was looking at the function RealFont I noticed that
it was a PASCAL Toolbox call that returned a boolean -- Not willing to trust
that a PASCAL TRUE would be the same as in C I used the #define'd TRUE
that seems to exist in one of the LSC header files, assuming it (and FALSE)
had been set up just to accomodate the returned PASCAL boolean values -- only
this wasn't the case.

I guess I was really asking why TRUE wasn't matching what was being returned
from RealFont() -- Do the PASCAL boolean Toolbox functions really return other
values than the LSC header defined TRUE and FALSE??
