The NFNT numbers can be anything you want... it is the FOND numbers that
are used to determine what font is used.  I am not sure just why Font Harmony
renumbers the FONDs, but it does.  I just used ResEdit to re-set the FOND
IDs back to what they were.  I used the LaserWriter distribution IDs as a base,
for the common fonts.
