FOND IDs are chosen by a deterministic algorithm that (a) avoids using numbers in 0..255 where possible, i.e., where the family is all-NFNT (b) avoids conflict with IDs already in use on the user's system; (c) minimizes the chance of future conflict with IDs assigned by Apple to font vendors; and (d) minimizes the chance of conflict with FONTs embedded in applications. -- brecher@well.UUCP (Steve Brecher)
