When it comes to ResEdit, less than a year is still wildly old.

You have an old copy of ResEdit. I had the same problem (in fact, it was
exactly the same problem, I was fixing I and l in Monaco), so I found a friend
with the latest ResEdit, and that fixed things. I think the latest version is
1.1 something or the other.
