The cross-platform fonts thing can be a PITA. We use the same OpenType fonts on the Mac & PC for our template but the PC does not recognize one of the variants of Futura Condensed so when we bring the files to the PC (fairly rare) the fonts shift. Fortunately for us we only generate Help from the PC so the fonts aren't a big enough issue for us to modify the templates.
Nevertheless, it is a lesson in the idiosyncrasies of cross-platform compatibility ... It is not easy to make it perfect, but technically can be done with experimenting. So, lose the PS fonts and go OpenType. That is the first step. Hope That Helps. Will.
