Hi,
   I've been working on a font using Fontographer. The font I'm creating uses
Times-Roman as a base and adds bits to some of the characters (a fairly
trivial exercise--I know). Unfortunately while it works nicely in plain text
mode, the bolding doesn't look too good. 

Now, I know this is because the postscript generated when I send a file to
the postscript device tells the device to apply the standard bolding algorithm
to times-roman, rather than telling it to use times-roman-bold instead. 

I've also guessed that what I want to do is apply my changes and create
another down-loadable font using times-roman-bold as the base, but what I
can't figure out is how to tie that back to my bitmap font so that when I use
bolding in a document it automatically knows to download the bold version.

After talking to our Mac programming expert, it seems that such a feature has
something to do with the FOND resource, Fontographer mentions that it
correctly creates these resources but that it cannot edit them. 

Thus, my question is: Does anyone know how to edit a FOND resource in such a
way that it points at different down-loadable fonts for different styles? Is
there a utility or a ResEdit template for this? Or am I wrong in my
assumptions? 

Thanks for any help you can give me.
