Hi Larry,  How are you doing?  Ever going back to Cincy?  Miss skyline??
Three possibilities come to mind for your problem:

1.  Run Andy Hertzfeld's 'sortmenu' (I think public domain) utility.  I have a 
copy if you can't find one. This will sort your font and da menus in alpha
order.  This may put other fonts you need out of reach, however.  (You use
'Yucatanese' a lot don't you?)

2.  Use resedit to remove Chicago, and then font/da mover to re-install it.

3.  Use a product called Fontastic, which definitely has the functionality
you need.

  Let me know how you do.
