None of these questions are trivial. If you truly do not perceive the
difficulty, I'd say that you either (a) are not well-informed on the issue, or (b)
haven't invested sufficient thought in the issue, or (c) a combination of
both.
First, I used the word insurmountable, not trivial. Worlds apart in meaning and implication. I also said I think solving this very "in your face" problem should be a priority. It is a problem common to all who create with Rev in any platform.
I then suggested two ways that "might" make this thorn in the side more manageable:
1) Revolution itself investing in and distributing a limited number of font faces which would be identical across platforms (requiring individuals to hire fontographers on their own is not viable).
2) Revolution providing a mechanism for these fonts, as needed, to reside within the standalone and be called from there.
It appears the former has been shown to work for some users. You seem to be saying that latter option might be legitimate, too, but like you I am ignorant of how it might happen.
While you would be correct in saying that I am (c) a combination of not well-informed and without having invested a lot of thought in the issue, I'm ok with that. It's not an area I feel I should need to become expert. I do feel Rev users of any skill level deserve a simple (to the user), upfront solution to what seems to be a plaguing problem that is not being addressed systemically from within the Rev environment.
