Those who have Fontographer should be aware that its copy protection scheme
involves writing an invisible file on the desktop which has a name of four
undefined characters, e.g. the name looks like four boxes.  There is no
information on the file to indicate what it is.  Don't delete the file.
If the file is gone, your copy of Fontographer is useless.

To the credit of Altsys customer support, they were very helpful and had
no reservations about sharing the above information.  They also mentioned
that Fontographer will not boot with MacsBug installed.
