If you read back in the thread, the idea of requiring the user to install any *new* fonts was explicitly ruled out by the guy asking the original question. However, if you *can* require your users to install a new font, yours is definitely the better way to go. And these days, Bitstream has a free-for-the-downloading font called Vera which is exactly and specifically designed to be identical across platforms! I can't find a way to get it from the Bitstream website, but you can download Mac Classic, Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux versions of Vera from [http://kitschparade.ath.cx/vera.php]. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
