Under either System 6 or System 7, you can move the bitmapped version of
the font into an application by using Font/DA Mover. You need a late
version (4.1??) to do this in System 7. The font then appears as a resource
in the appplication when you start it, and disappears when you quit. To
print
you will still need to put the outline font in the System or Extensions or
Fonts
folder, depending on whether you are using Sytem 6, 7.0, or 7.1.
