The resource manager data structures are for debugging use only!
If you want to create a font, just put the data in a handle and do:

CreateResFile("\pmyFontFile");
OpenResFIle("\pmyFontFile");
AddResource(fontHandle, 'FONT', 128, "\pmyFontName");
CloseResFile(CurResFile());

Don't muck with resource manager data structures directly. Don't rely on
Inside Mac Vol 1 to tell you the format of a FONT resource: read the Font
Manager chapters in Inside Mac vol 4, and 5.
