Steve, I believe that there may be a error in the procedure regarding the 'folding' of complex families together. Pages 79 and 80. In following the procedure, I first copied the Other styles into the Plain, then the Semi-Bold's into Plain. (After doing a check/fix of course.) I found the display to be 'funky' when the bold style was applied to the semi-bold font. It should have used (or become) the Bold display, instead it was one of those algorythmically generated types. Upon investigation with ResEdit I discovered that the Bold references in the Semi-Bold FOND were removed. On my first pass experiment, I copied the Other styles into the Semi-Bold family and then copied the entire Semi-Bold file into the Plain with Font/DA Mover 3.8. It worked! I used Stone Informal for this, I don't know if the would be the case with other complex families but I though you should know. Jim
