Thanks Josh -- Do you know if the pan-Unicode font situation is improving in 10.5 or Vista? In my situation, I need the installation to be a "clean" as possible, so installing fonts etc. is just not going to work. Perhaps the (ugly) alternative would be to save the text as bitmaps on the author's machine, and just display it as a picture on the reader's machine. The amount of text is rather small so the overall byte count is not really an issue. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
