I thought that Monaco was one of the four fonts that were included in
the ROM on the Mac II!  Am I right?  To see if I am, try using some
word processor under MacOS with the Monaco font.  If your modification
shows up, them I'm probably wrong.  If I'm right, you may have to change
font id's or something bizarre like that.  I seem to remember a piece in
an old issue of MacUser that told someone how to modify their system to
use their modified Chicago font, so this might work similarly--I'll try
to find it and get back to you.
