If you added or deleted fonts from the Font Menu so that the >order changed, you were going to get some very strange results. Sorry for the long included text, but context is context. What is happening, is that Suitcase is randomly renumbering the FOND resources to avoid conflicts. You can recover your old font numbers (you DO remember them, don't you? No? Well, look at IM-I for the basic ones) by using ResEdit to change the resource numbers of the FOND resources back to the simple numbers used before. Here is my list: 0 Chicago 2 New York 3 Geneva 4 Monaco 5 Venice 6 London 7 Athens 8 San Francisco 11 Cairo 12 Los Angeles 13 Zapf Dingbats 14 Bookman 15 N Helvetica Narrow 16 Palatino 18 Zapf Chancery 20 Times 21 Helvetica 22 Courier 23 Symbol 24 Mobile 33 Avant Garde 34 New Century Schoolbook 128 Sonata (not a basic font) It is not necessary to change FONT or NFNT numbers.
