Confession:	I don't have a copy of IM 5

Problem:	I want to change the standard chicago 12 font to be
		something else, ie I want the menu bar etc in a
		different font.

Solution:	I have created (actually altered) another font and
		coerced the FONT & FOND resources so that the machine
		(Font/DA mover) believes that it is Chicago 12.  I have
		installed this in a system file, where it appears happily
		at the bottom of the screen when chicago 12 is selected.

Problem:	When this system file becomes the running system file
		on my SE, the chicago 12 font is the REAL chicago 12.  If
		I open up Font/DA mover on the file, Chicago 12 has reverted,
		but when I run another system, it changes back.

Question:	So, is Chicago 12 in the ROMS of an SE and if so, how
		do I convince the machine to use a different font (or indeed
		the installed chicago 12 font) in the system file ?
