Mark,
Many thanks! The snapshot is an excellent idea which I've used for
various projects. Unfortunately, it's not an option here since the
end result is printing (and pictures of text can get pretty gritty
when printed). I'm checking out BitStream now.
Thanks again,

Ray,
You really should make your software such that it takes word
wrapping into account. You want to use similar fonts for visual
consistency across platforms, not to make sure that the last word of
the second sentence is always on the third line of a field. If you
need to be sure that the operating system doesn't slightly change
the position of your text, then turn your text into a picture.
A font created particularly with cross-platform compatibility in
mind is the Bitstream Vera font set, which you can download here <http://www.gnome.org/fonts/
>. One of the great things about this font is that the license
allows you to include the font with commercial software for
distribution.

Another basic question: What fonts are good for deploying stacks
cross platform? That is, fonts which will mostly likely NOT start
unexpected word wraps on Windows when there was no word wrapping on
Mac.
Thanks,
