Also, in my experience, OpenDiskFont does NOT check to see
if the font is already loaded, and will load a duplicate.
So first try OpenFont, if it fails, or does not give what you want,
the OpenDiskFont.

If a duplicate gets loaded, it will get unload duriung the next
library expunge (ie - out of memory)

I WISH there was no such thing a OpenDiskFont.
Its as bad as if there was an OpenDiskLibrary.
Yucko.
