Tom,

I've never had a problem using 'custom' font-families.

I usually try to tick the following boxes;

* Make sure the family contains an OS default ( http:// 
www.ampsoft.net/webdesign-l/WindowsMacFonts.html ) e.g. Verdana, Arial
* Make sure you depreciate to a generic family e.g. monospace or serif
* Dont use fancy font's with 'limited' character sets
* I don't use fonts containing all upper case or excessively  
flamboyant glyphs
* I don't generally use non-standard fonts (in-fact - I have only  
done this once for a presentation on my machine)

Regards,

Gareth Rodger
