Indeed, MacTErminal has its fonts hidden in its resource fork. They are
slightly modified Monaco-9 fonts, one is something approximating the
double-width set found on the vt100. They have high font numbers (with
the high-order bit on!) which makes the resource mover and font editor
unhappy dealing with them. I have successfully modified these and
reinstalled them in MacTerminal (an earlier message from someone at CMU
told how to extract them, modify and install in the system file); I'll
post a message later with details. The basic element is to renumber the
fonts with the resource mover, inside macterminal, then copy them into
the fonts file, edit them, reinstall into macterminal, and restore the
original numbers. Trying to cut them with the original resource numbers
would always crash the resource editor, and damage both the resource
editor and MacTerminal binaries...
