"Suitcase" messing with fonts chosen in nib files?

I think I found a Cocoa bug, but I'm not quite sure what's going on. 
I have been getting reports from people that have extra fonts
installed, and sometimes when using the "Suitcase" font management
tool, that certain UI elements in my apps (where I have Helvetica
chosen as the display font, such as in some NSTableViews and NSBrowser)
garble the fonts, causing the text to look garbled (generally ASCII
text, but characters scrambled to other characters).

Has anybody else encountered this phenomonen?  Maybe somebody with
familiarity with AppKit would know how the font is actually selected at
runtime when one is specified in the nib -- for instance, does it match
fonts by name, or some sort of internal ID, or what?
