*** NO! ***

The Chicago 12 font contains several menu-associated characters as follows:

	"ASCII" Decimal		ASCII Name	MacSymbol

	17			DC1		Control Cloverleaf
	18			DC2		Menu Check Mark
	19			DC3		Filled Diamond
	20			DC4		The Apple Symbol of DA Menu

Good luck typing these control characters into an application for printing!  It
is possible to type them into Microsoft BASIC, but the obvious control character
key sequences might not work.
