Careful there: On 10.5 and earlier, this file is a "resorce fork font",
which means that 'ls -l' shows a size of 0 Bytes (the data fork), but
'ls -l@' shows something nonzero:
ls -l@ /Library/Fonts/Arial
-rw-rw-r--@ 1 root admin 0 Mar 21 2005 /Library/Fonts/Arial
com.apple.FinderInfo 32
com.apple.ResourceFork 317313
/Library/Fonts/Arial never came with the system; it was installed by
some 3rd-party software. I think it must come from 10.4. Maybe the
resource fork was stripped on the way from 10.4 to 10.6?
Is applesystemfonts still useful on 10.6 (or even on 10.5)?. I am
curious, because Font handling in X11 has changed a lot since the days
when applesystemfonts was created.
