Or even better, assign Fonts: to where you want it, load the font, then reassign
to the original Fonts:. We've run into exactly the same problem, and we don't
want Fonts: to be changed all the time, as other programs might want it.
Changing it only as long as it takes to load the font minimizes the risc of a
collision. I'd like to hear any suggestions, too.
