Several earlier articles (from Eric Olson, John VanMunster, and Phillip 
Todd, et al)  contained references to a Font/DA Mover 3.5 bug that
causes one's System file to grow huge, etc. It was theorized that the
problem was somehow related to use of Apple's Installer, among other
things.

No, I don't have an immediate answer to the problem; however, I am
the poor soul enslaved to find it (they're just trying to get back at
me for writing TeachText! :-).

If any of you do happen to find a way to reproduce this problem (without
requiring lots of unusual fonts, DAs, etc), I'd appreciate hearing about 
it (please reply via net mail).

Thanks!
