Re: Fonts in a StandaloneHi Mike,

Hi Paul,
I have run into the same issue and for that reason I generally use Times and
Arial for text. These two font selections seem to be supported on most
computers although it is a very limiting selection. I would be very
interested to hear of any other solutions for text fields.
Imho you should not use Times nor Arial because...
Times is a small serif font - difficult to read on Monitor
Arial is a sanserif font - san serif are normally good to read on monitors even in small sizes - but *not* the small and irregular Arial. And it is very, very ugly...
So this both are not good for Apps (times is better for printing on paper Arial is imho for nothing). If you develop only for WIN than the users can live with them, because they are trained on them from the OS and Word... But even WIN user deserve a better design for instance with: Verdana (installed with IE on MAc too). It is developed from M$ especially as ascreen font for better readability on monitors...
snip ----
Try a Postscript font especially for that big size (Verdana is not a PS font!)There are a lot of titles so I am reluctant to change them all to images.
Have a look at the Profile Manger. With it you can define different Fonts(sizes, styles) for different platforms.Are there headline fonts that are somewhat universal? or is it possible that a font can be embedded in the file with the standalone? Has anyone on the list met this problem?
And have a look at building distribution
Tab:stacks: copy default font settings
try to uncheck or check it and see the results after building.
Just my 2 �cent...
