- Quite so.

- The print font file name is predicted from information stored in a table in
- the coresponding FOND resource (ref new IM 'Text:fonts', on CD). They must
- match (unless you edit the table, which is difficult ouside of a postscript
- font editing package), so dont rename that printer file. The Suitcase file
- name is arbitrary, it doesnt have to match up with anything, and you can
- rename it ad placitum.
