     Back in late 1984 and early 1985, when the most technical thing you could
do on a Mac was edit fonts, I designed a German script font called Wartburg.
At the time, I used Apple's Font Editor.
     That font doesn't work on this Mac-SE that I'm using now.  I double-click
on the font file (or start Font/DA mover 3.5 and open the font file), but the
font doesn't appear.  The file is opened, but it appears empty.
     I tried creating a FOND, even to the extent of figuring out those
fixed-point widths and heights.  It still doesn't work.  I dumped the FONT out
in hex and looked at the first few bytes.  They look fine.
     Fontastic doesn't deal with it, but I think that's because I haven't
shelled out the money to buy Fontastic-Plus.  FontDisplay 5.0 (demo version)
displays it fine, except for one character which seems to want to kern an
awful lot.  I don't use ResEdit, because it freaks my computer when I try to
edit fonts.

     Is there something I need to do to get it to be recognized?  I'd rather
not buy the upgrade to Fontastic-Plus, and I'd rather not dump the font out in
hex and decode the whole thing.
     Would it help if I went back to an older Font/DA Mover?  I'll probably
try to do some work with it under the older systems to see if that helps.  Any
suggestions, assuming I get it to work, on updating the FONT/FOND for newer
systems?

     Thanks.
