At LEAST as of System 6, you MUST have at least one DA in the Apple menu (most people use Alarm Clock because it seems to be the smallest) and if you delete all your fonts, your text will look funny. This USUALLY won't be a big deal, however. But the important thing is that I don't believe Font/DA Mover will let you REALLY mess things up. -- -=Alan=- aland@chaos.cs.brandeis.edu
