A few questions

[Warren Nagourney]

Thanks very much for the suggestion, but I am afraid it didn't help. 
Unless I need to login again after clicking in the Symbol box, nothing 
changed - it still rejects my use of this font. For what it is worth, 
there are a large number of other fonts (like Math1) which are also 
rejected by the font panel.

I don't quite understand why Symbol is an "international" preference; 
but, then again, I don't understand why Apple took the very nice NeXT 
font panel (with font preview) and changed it considerably for the worse.

Carbon apps don't seen to have this problem (they have others, though).

Thanks again.
