   This is false. With System 7.1, the Macintosh has an honest-to-goodness
Fonts folder, which can be found in your System folder. It's a real folder
with real font suitcase files that you can easily drag in and out. You can
also double-click on the individual fonts to get a window which displays
samples in various point sizes. It's quite cool.
