Also, messing with the ids will make your fonts specific to *your*
system. That is, unless the software you use saves font names rather
than ids, you won't be able to print or even reasonably edit your
files on another system. Few programs save names (e.g., XPress does,
Word doesn't). One of the desktop publishing magazines ("Publish!",
maybe?) recently listed those that do; the list was short.
