Bug with Font_ReadDefn

Hi,

The DefMod file for Font_ReadDefn completely ignores R1, but it's used to
hold a buffer for the font name. Note that there's no way to tell the Font
Manager that you don't want this name returned, and worse - it will happily
trash your processor vectors etc if passed a bad pointer. Pretty daft API if
you ask me.

I remember also a discussion on this list a while ago about
Font_ReadFontMetrics being incorrect (because the PRMs were incorrect) - has
this been fixed?
