	I have had the same problem trying to install Princeton font,
(version 1.4 I believe, is there a later one?).  The problem is quite
simple--Princeton's font ID number is 13 which happens to also be the
font ID of an Apple Laserwriter Plus font (Zapf Chancery I think).
	
	Why this causes the Princeton font not to appear in the Font/DA
mover window I don't know, but if you hack into the suitcase file with
ResEdit you find an interesting thing.  The new FOND ID number is 13
and the name shows up in ResEdit as Zapf Chancery when I open the FOND
resource.  But when I open the FONT resource, the name is still Princeton.
Removing Zapf Chancery from my system file made no difference.
The key seems to be to renumber the FOND ID number so it doesn't conflict,
but I haven't figured out how to do this.  Do the FONT ID's also have to
be changed?

	It seems to me that Apple reserved some of the lower ID numbers
way back and now we see the result of creating a new font in the
reserved range.  Still, this should be an easy fix for someone more
familiar with resedit.
