Sarah,

Thanks for your comments.

When I double click on a font file, Font Book opens. While it was open, I
resolved all duplicates. Restart. No difference.

I also repaired permissions and verified the startup disk. No problems.

As to individual font file permissions, they are all the same and have a
notation different from other files. I guess they are "read-only" for all
users and groups, which seems logical.

In the Classic system folder there is a fonts folder with conventional
types of permissions settings. I did not touch these.

The basic point is why Revolution is different from all other applications.
This type of adjustment would not be likely to affect different programs
differently.

Thanks.

Bruce
