Choose Font... dialog patch for System 6.0.1

A few days ago, Nathan told me that my TeachText should crash if I
followed his instructions (I do not have GUPP installed). Well I did and
nothing happened! The bitmapped font was properly generated from the
TrueType font.

In fact, I have a Tool027, which has been patched by Yvan Koenig a
well-known IIgs expert here in France. At Rel. block 17, byte offset
$002057, you find:

$D4 90 D4 8E A0 CF 00 B7 4C 48 A9 00 00 48 48 48 48 0B 3B 5B A4 03

Replace this hexadecimal sequence by:

$A0 CF 00 B7 4C F0 3E D4 90 D4 8E 48 A0 00 00 5A 5A 5A 5A 0B 3B 5B

This is a 22-byte patch. I'll try to upload Tool027 to Caltech next week
(My manager crashed my Mac at work and I had to recover all lost data --
this will take some time to restore my personal stuff).
