Since you ask, I just ran into a nasty problem with Interleaf the
other day.  An in-house user complained that her newly-installed copy
of Interleaf 3.5.2 didn't show any space between words as she typed.
I thought perhaps her screen fonts hadn't been installed properly, so
I reinstalled them.  The screen font for her paragraph text promptly
changed to San Francisco.

I eventually figured out that Interleaf chooses screen fonts by font
number, and not by name.  This is a bug, since fonts are renumbered in
case of conflict.  I solved the local problem by deleting all fonts in
the system file, then reinstalling first the Apple fonts and then the
Interleaf fonts.  Interleaf technical support suggested use of Font
Harmonizer.  At $2495 for a copy of Interleaf, seems to me they could
afford to throw in a free copy of Suitcase II to cover their bugs!
Sigh.

Tech support did assure me that the bug is scheduled to be fixed in
some unspecified future release, and added a few disparaging remarks
about their employer's approach to compatibility.
