Programs like MacWrite which show a Font menu listing all the
available fonts generally build it just once, when they start up.  If
you change the fonts with Suitcase after you have started such a
program, it will have already set up the font menu and won't look to
see if the list has changed (it won't expect it to have).  (Programs
like Word 3.02 which display fonts in a dialog box probably do it once
the first time the list is needed.  They could do it each time,
though.)

This is why Suitcase puts up a warning when you change the fonts while
some program is running.
