!As I recall, you used to be able to change the 'default application font'
!bit(s) in PRAM.  Thus, when any "correct" application went to find the
!default font, it would get the font that you installed.  Off the top of
...

Well, gosh.  Next time I'll think first :-)

It used to be that we couldn't change the font - it was scattered all over the
source.  However, we do use ApplFont these days, so I assume that indeed we
do use the application font.  Ahem.  Whoops.  Bright Red Face :-)  My comment
was I think due to a memory of someone telling me that MacWrite ignored the 
change.  So, I'm still uncertain.

No we didn't change the way we access the standard font, so if it worked
for 4.5 or 4.6, it'll still work for 5.0

Sorry for the confusion.  Remind to wake up next time I answer a message.
