Hi Richmond,
It is part of Revolution as in "included with" and it has always been
an external. Although I agree that the documentation is slightly
confusing, I believe the usage of the font external should be clear to
a veteran like you.
When documentation changes with a new release of Revolution, I'd
consider the old documentation to have become obsolete.
There have been a few peculiarities, particularly with older versions
of the external. What problem are you trying to solve?
No real problem beyond than I am still doing most of my development with
2.6.1 (i.e. pre revFontLoad) as I only have
2.9 as revMedia. After the conference I should have a full version of
4.0; at which point I may want to release a set of
standalones of the Sanskrit typewriter-thing I am developing just now
(horribly complicated - more in terms of how
Classical Sanskrit was written rather than Runtime Revolution), and
wonder how one would go about making sure
that the externals are delivered properly with the standalones.
I also note there is no mention of the revFontLoad capability stretching
to Linux . . .

Sarah Reichelt suggested that I:
Have a look at the revFontLoad & revFontUnload commands.
They used to be part of the altFont external, but are now part of
Revolution itself.

and, a year and a half later, here I am.
So, looing up 'revFontLoad' in the documentaion (2.9) I read:
"Loads a font using the font external library."
which makes me feel 'a bit queer', as I usually do whenever I
see the word 'external'.
So, has this been changed from an external to an 'internal' post 2.9,
or, just for a change :) is the 2.9 documentation either outdated or
wrong?
