Not really. The folders in the System folder don't do anything; they're just
there to make some System 7 apps happy. To install fonts, you must put them
in the hot band, and only bitmap fonts work. They are not aliases there, I
don't think, but dragging into the Fonts folder won't do anything (or at
least didn't last time I checked).
