Though they are unusual, there are situations in which this is a very
useful trick. I administered a Mac network that had several Mac Plus
workstations that started up off 800K startup disks. Needless to say,
space was at a premium on these disks, so I installed the font for the
music notation software that was on our net into the music program
itself, rather than the respective system files. It worked like a charm
for the music software, and prevented people from accidentally turning
their word processing document into a hideous collection of music
symbols, as the font was only available to the program that used it.
