Your problem is that the System file on the MAC-OS partition is NOT the one
used by A/UX.  You must "launch" Font/DA mover in your A/UX environment.
If it is not already there, then you need to use hfx to move it over.
Here is a small list of some of the DA's that do work (I think about 75% of
the ones I have tried do):

SigmaEdit
Alarm Clock
ASCII-DA II
Calculator
Control Panel
DeskPaint
Executive Decision Maker
Klutz
MaCube
Note Pad II v2.1  (Note that the Apple NotePad does NOT work.)
Puzzle
SciCalc
SmartScrap
