You are supposed to save font name/size info in documents, not font
numbers. Font numbers have always been a no-no, and anyone with any sense
can figure out that font numbers are system file specific, while font
names/sizes are portable.

Just think about what would happen if we all started saving fRefNums to
access files instead of using their names? After all, if I close it and
then open it again, won't it have the same fRefNum? Use you head... And
use the durn font name. That's why its there.
