- I can almost gaurantee that this is caused by some of your fonts having
- family IDs that belong to another script system. In System 7.1, AddResMenu
- which is what just about everyone uses to build their font menus sorts
- fonts (and other resources) within a script system's resource ID range.
- This means that all your Roman fonts will be grouped together, all your
- Japanese fonts will be grouped together, and so on. If you have, say a
- Roman font with a family ID that belongs to the Japanese script system, it
- will be placed with the Japanese fonts.
