The simplest way to get the null in is to use Font/DA Mover. It will put
in a null if the DA is missing it. I don't know if all versions do this,
but the latest one does.
Does anyone know why there is supposed to be a null there? IM says it
is to avoid conflicts with file names, but who cares if a DA and a file
have the same?
