Actually, we do see a difference.  I.e. the problem does only occur on our
IIs, not the SEs.  And you leave out a step.  Since the fonts original file
has a bogus FOND resource (one that won't work right), you have to fire up
ResEdit to remove the FOND for that font.  Then you can use Font/DA moverto
install it in your system file and that will create a workable FOND for the
font.  Thanks to Marc Kaufman for this information.
