Summary: When wil FONT/DA mover handle NFNTs?

We just got a LWII/NT today (and very nice it is too) and with it some
new versions of the LW bitmap fonts plus FONT/DA mover version 3.6. Upon
turning it loose on Garamond, which Adobe supply with NFNTs for Bold,
Italic and Bold-Italic, I find that the beast STILL doesn't copy the
NFNTs, i.e. if I want to move NFNTS I still have to use ResEdit!

1) PLEASE Apple, could you fix FONT/DA mover so it knows about NFNTS?
2) How about supplying bitmap versions of the italic, bold & bold-italic
   for the normal LW fonts? (OR do I have to buy a LWII/SC for that?)

[Alert readers will have (correctly) concluded that I hacked the Adode
supplied I, B and BI Garamond FONTs into NFNTS---works fine expect for
the pain of moving them around. ]
