I'm sorry if this subject has been raised before and I missed it, but here goes.

I have encountered a strange font problem with a Mac II, 2 megs, system 6.02,
and Canvas 2.0 or Macdraw II.  I haven't had the chance to test other recent
object oriented editors, but the problem doesn't exist in Pixel Paint or many
other pre-6.02 graphics programs.

The problem is that any font that is not an Apple supplied font freaks out in
these programs.  This list includes: Basel, calligraphy, Camelot, NY Inline,
Florence, oblique, scan, etc.  If any of these fonts are chosen then the
spacing is all wrong and the letters are distorted.  They either appear all
on top of each other, or with vast distances between them.

Fonts like London, or palatino all work fine.  What is going on here?  All of
the fonts are installed in the system file and have been removed and re-
installed with Font/Da mover 3.8 in case I had used an old version originally.

Why does this problem not occur with other programs?  I can't find any font numbering
conflicts, but I have noticed that most or all of the defective fonts have
very high font numbers.  I can't find any nfnt resource to check, but
the Font and Fond resources all look fine.

Thanks in advance...
