It depends, If MacWrite doesn't leave the file open after reading it then MacWrite won't find the font, also just because you open a file that doesn't mean you open the Resource Fork of the file. I believe MacWrite puts all of it's stuff in the data fork, so if it opens a document it doesn't even touch the resource fork, and hence the Font is not found since the resource fork isn't open.
