The recently posted new keycaps DA that allows you to select fonts via a
menu, is a very handy thing--especially if you've got lots of fonts in your
System.

However, it apparently interacts badly with the virtual memory MacWrites--
versions 3.0 and 3.4 in particular--resulting in a noisy crash whenever
these MWs are started on a disk with the new keycaps DA installed.

Has anyone else noticed this? (I don't recall any previous postings on it.)
How about with other programs, and versions of MW later than 3.4?

Btw, the earlier RAM-based MacWrite seems to live happily with the new
keycaps DA.
