A few days ago, I posted a question about replacing Apple fonts with versions
which can be associated with PostScript fonts; in particular, I mentioned
Geneva.  Well, I found a Helvetica 9 bitmap on Sumex and proceeded to place
Helvetica bitmaps in a suitcase and use ResEdit to diddle them into being
"Geneva" -- yes, I got everything; I've done such trickery before, as I
mentioned previously.  I then rebooted off a floppy and used ResEdit to
replace the stock Geneva fonts with my modified copies.

IT DIDN'T WORK.  The system rebooted -- and Finder continued to use the
*original* Geneva, which is no longer in my System file.

So:  is Geneva 9 in the ROMs, like Chicago 12?  If so, what resource(s) do I
need to add or patch to force the System file copies to be used?  Or will ATM
get it right even if Finder uses a "bootleg" (from *my* standpoint, at least)
copy of Geneva 9?  (Well, that last I can test, at least.)  Or is something
else unusual going on, say Finder having its own private copy of Geneva 9
(again, testable here) or etc.?

[Earnestly hoping I don't get too badly roasted by Apple on this attempt to
fool their software....]

Thanks in advance,
++Brandon
