I was preparing the boot device, slimming it down to 2.5 mg for use with Flash boot RAM disk software from Quality Computer. I thought I could alias the Font and Sound folder after I moved these two folder to a hd partition.
It would appear, moving the Font folder and making an alias to it in the System folder, causes one error message with two possible issues. Memory is below 300k or requires System 6.0.1.
Putting the Font folder back and the system boots no error.
I have some TrueType fonts that I use with Pointless is there a way to make an alias to the TrueType fonts stored on another partition and keep the bit mapped fonts, bare minimum, in the fonts folder?

And here in lies the answer.
When you select the Pointless Icon you are presented with a list of all TrueType fonts currently installed. There are four configuration options available:
Add: Adds TrueType fonts to the Pointless font list, which controls what fonts will appear in the standard Font Menu. ******** This option also selects the disk location of each font. **********
Very helpful document...
