Hi, all.
How do you avoid font substitution of static text fields in your standalones
that are destined for different systems and platforms?
(In Director, we had three methods: embedding fonts, converting text blocks
to bitmaps and adding a fontmap file with cross-platform font substitutions
specified. The bitmap conversion was the most reliable.)
Thanks in advance.

Well, as a fairly crude chap . . .
and by "crude" I mean that when I learnt to drive I wanted to be able to
drive
a 2 gear 1930 Fordson tractor as well as the latest HumVee . . .
and knowing that every single blasted computer "out there" is running a
differently
constituted version of a variety of operating systems . . .
I just export any STATIC text in the font that I want as an image and
import it back into my stack as an image.
No need for any embedded fonts, bitmap nonsense, or anything else.
