Fontmap.Txt has a mechanism for preventing Director from remapping upper 
ASCII characters when going from one platform to the other: you add a MAP 
NONE attribute on the font line.

But this doesn't work for embedded fonts. Director remaps all upper ASCII 
characters in a text member according to some internal table.

E.g., when I type character 208 or 240 (ASCII, decimal) in a text field 
under Windows, apply my embedded font to them, then save and open the dir 
file under Mac OS 9, I see characters 198 and 182, respectively instead of 
my 208 and 240. Director remaps them because, e.g., the lower case (Greek 
letter) delta in the Windows standard character set (code page 1252) is 240 
decimal, but in the Mac standard character set it delta is 182 decimal.

But that's not what I need. How do I stop Director from remapping upper 
ASCII characters in text fields with an embedded font?

Thanks!
