The more fonts, desk accessories, startup documents, and control panel devices you use, the less RAM is available for use. Also, the size of the System file may grow quite large.
It can seem that MacDraw II places a limit on the number of fonts you can use. The font menu may not contain all the fonts installed in your System, or some fonts may appear grayed out, and not selectable.
Here's what is happening.
MacDraw II lets you customize the font menu to show only those fonts you may need for a particular document. In other words, once the font menu has been customized, this unique selection stays with the document. A new document will again show only the default fonts. The font menu starts out with a minimal set which includes New York, Geneva, etc. Choose Fonts from the Font menu to add more fonts from your system to the font selection for the document you're working on.
If it is desirable to have a greater selection of fonts with each newly created document, customize a document by adding the desired fonts and save this document as a MacDraw II Options file.
MacDraw II remembers the names of fonts used in your document. If you use a unique font when creating your document, then open the file on a Macintosh which does not have this font installed, the name of the missing font will appear in the font menu, grayed out, to alert you to this condition. You can then either install this font with the Font DA/Mover or remove the font from the MacDraw II font menu using the Fonts option from the Font menu.
