Sorry for the long included text, but context is context.  What is happening,
is that Suitcase is randomly renumbering the FOND resources to avoid conflicts.
You can recover your old font numbers (you DO remember them, don't you?  No?
Well, look at IM-I for the basic ones) by using ResEdit to change the resource
numbers of the FOND resources back to the simple numbers used before.

Here is my list:

0	Chicago
2	New York
3	Geneva
4	Monaco
5	Venice
6	London
7	Athens
8	San Francisco
11	Cairo
12	Los Angeles
13	Zapf Dingbats
14	Bookman
15	N Helvetica Narrow
16	Palatino
18	Zapf Chancery
20	Times
21	Helvetica
22	Courier
23	Symbol
24	Mobile
33	Avant Garde
34	New Century Schoolbook
128	Sonata (not a basic font)

It is not necessary to change FONT or NFNT numbers.
