Martin,
Thanks for the tip, but I keep only a bare minimum of Fonts in system Font
folders (using FontAgent Pro) - However, this tip will be a great aid when
investing the one's I do keep in orig locations. (assuming it works in
panther)
Unfortunately, I need primarily to document fonts which are NOT in system
font folders.
The good news: spoke with a rep at Insider Software (FAP's developer)-
they're indeed working on AppleScriptability, and will send me a copy to
test --
