That happened to one of the Macs in the lab here, and after much fiddling
around, we found that simply recopying the Chicago and Geneva fonts onto the
boot disk fixed everything.  I don't know whether MD2 corrupted the fonts
or something else happened, but it's pretty strange behavior.  Anyway, I
don't think this is some form of copy-protection, since Claris (or actually
MacConnection) advertises its products as not copy-protected.  If it is, tho'
it is pretty effective.  Funny thing, various Claris pgms were affected the
same way.  Both MD2 and Claris CAD had the strange font problem, but MPaint
didn't.  Weird weird weird.
