M. Schonewille,
I understand your reluctance.
a. iDo is a free control panel and extension, not an OSAX
b. it works fine with OS 9.1
c. I Trashed the Fonts folder and restarted the Mac because active fonts can not be
removed from the fonts folder while an application (including Script Editor or an
applet) is running. This way, the old fonts become inactive. Something that does not
otherwise occur.
Good Luck,
--Dan
