Not X-specific, but that's perfectly fine in OS 9.  I use that same trick
(slightly more than that, actually) to remake Arial into Geneva system-wide.
No more Arial.

As for placement in the list, the "wrapper name" of a font (the Finder
file's name) is pretty irrelevant. It's the internal names that get used for
font reference in the menu -- the FOND name or some such.

Space away.  It can only not work. ;)
