[You can delete it and reinstallit with ResEdit]

The patches to MacDraw that were posted in a Delphi Digest two weeks ago
allow MacDraw to scroll the Font list like Jazz does--the whole list
and then the sizes at the bottom.  This scrolling and having the fonts
in alphabetical order are dependent upon the new 128K ROMs, which are
highly recommended, especially if you have a hard drive.  An
alternative is to use the MDEF posted on net.sources.mac in
January that provides the alphabetical Font and DA lists that scroll in your
System file rather than the ROMs.

The same Delphi article (actually taken from AppleLink) described installing
your favorite fonts into MacDraw, changing their names to include a space at
the beginning.  This way, MacDraw will show them at the top of the list, no
matter what your System has, and will be consistent since it remembers fonts
in a document by their relative position on the list (sick!!!).  I tried
this, changing the names in the FOND for each with ResEdit and installing
with both Font/DA Mover 3.1 and ResEdit 1.0D12 but MacDraw goes haywire when
printing the page, spraying letters all over the place.  Just those fonts, too.

Any ideas?  Many thanks to the person forwarding those patches from AppleLink!
