What would cause certain characters in a Word 4.0 file on a floppy to
change from one font to another on different Macs, even if the same
font is installed on both computers?

Here's what's happening:  One of the departments on campus has a couple of
non-networked Mac SEs with hard disks, each in a different room.  One has
an ImageWriter, one has a LaserWriter.  The fonts installed on both
computers include LNewYork (that's right ... LNewYork, a foreign language
font).

A Word 4.0 document was created on the ImageWriter-equipped Mac in which
certain characters are in the LNewYork font.  The users do set the Chooser
on that Mac to LaserWriter, since they know the document will be laser
printed.

When they open the same file on the laser Mac, the LNewYork characters
have changed into Bookman.  Even though LNewYork is there.

It sounds like font ID number conflicts, but I thought that problem went
away several Systems ago.  (They're running 6.0.2 and 6.0.3.)

Ideas?
