It seems to me this trick used to work: what has happened?

I thought that I could option-open a document in Font/DA mover, and put
a font in the resource fork for that document, and have it used just by
that document.

I tried it in MacWrite, and Word, and no such luck.  I thought I remembered
that this worked because the system sees the resources of all open files.
Shouldn't this work?  It sure seems like a good idea for seldom-used
display fonts and the like.
