(The Suitcase (TM) User's Manual sheds a little more light on Font
(name/number conflicts...in a nutshell,  all fonts of the same family
(should reside in the same file (as stated above), . . . It sounds to me,
(though, like you are are describing something a little different, perhaps
(related to System 6.0. . . . 

Now that we got our Farallon Appletalk network hooked up, I used the
background printing installer script in the System 5 tools to set up
the background stuff.  When next running a program, I observed the
same thing; the installer had added the three LW fonts in two sizes to
my system file, and only those two sizes were available to the
application.  As I use Suitcase, the only fonts I normally have in my
System file are Chicago, Monaco, and Geneva (ALL sizes) and all sizes
of everything else are kept in another suitcase file.  Removing the
newly added fonts from the System file with F/DA Mover solved the
problem.  This is probably not peculiar to System 6.0.
