I wish to add a font to a HyperCard stack but am unable to figure out
where to obtain the appropriate resources.  I want to add a 14 point
Helvetica bold.  I note that simply using resedit to copy in the
Helvetica FOND resource and a 14 point Helvetica FONT resource does
not work.  I note also that the author of the Apple Mac CX stack has done
something similar to what I want to do, but that it uses Garamond
instead.  I can copy the FONT resource for Garamond into my stack and
it works fine with textsize 14, textstyle bold, and textfont "b
garamond bold".  Can someone explain briefly where I can get a
resource for "b helvetica bold" in 14pt and why it is that simple
helvetica resources don't work?  Thanks.  (References also would be
appreciated.  My large collection of HyperCard books seems not to be
concerned about this issue.)
