Hi,

Yes, indeed, the fonts and libraries will hang around in memory and
intuition knows that they are there.  If you do a CloseFont() or a
CloseLibrary(), the font or library remains around until something
else big enough comes around that wants the memory; at that point
the font or library becomes history.

You may want to watch out about reassigning fonts: back to df0:, as
you can't count on the font sticking around, eventhough intuition
is able to find it in memory some/most of the time.  Depending on
how you handle things you could generate a guru.
