	Forgive me if you have seen this message before.
	I believe the news software rejected it the first time.

	I have a question about the new 4.1 system.  I have an INIT I wrote 
	that put a value in SysFontFam ($BA6).  I prefer to use a font I 
	designed myself, rather than Chicago, for the system font.

	The problem is that the new system is putting 0 (for Chicago) back
	in SysFontFam.  It happens during a launch I believe.  I have 
	searched the beta IM5 and believe that it is the script manager or
	something related to this new feature.  I think that itlb or itlc
	must have the system font (smSysScript?) for the US (Roman) script.

	Does anyone know what I have to do to make my font agreeable to the
	system?  This is only for my own computer and will never be
	distributed with any program or product.
	
	By the way, it seems we are about due for a new ResEdit version or
	at least some templates, etc.  Any one heard anything?	

	Thanks...Please reply to me and I will report back if anyone else is
	interested.
