The FOND alone merely tells the code where to find the FONT or NFNT (depending
on format), which you also need to copy. Take only the one for the size you're
actually using, and edit out (in ResEdit or font editor of your choice) all
characters that aren't used in your application--assuming you're using it for
display of specific text, or a particular type of input, whose content you can
predict. This not only trims a couple of k's from the size of your
application, it makes it pretty impossible for users to sneak in and steal the
font.

To enlarge the subject: using copies of fonts in your own application is often
an _excellent_ idea, since common fonts such as Geneva and Palatino come in
many variations that affect line height and hence the appearance of displayed
text.

Now, does someone out there know how to _rename_ a copied font (_newYork >
