Are you sure this is a font problem? Most common fonts are available on Mac
and on PC. I might be wrong but I think it is more likely that you are
saving the document in OpenOffice format ("ODF") and then trying to read it
on the MC with Microsoft Word. Microsoft Word cannot read ODF unless special
(free) software is also installed on the PC. You can get it from
http://www.sun.com/software/star/odf_plugin/
Another solution is for you to save the document in Word (".doc") format. In
OpenOffice Writer, go to File>Save As. Choose Microsoft Word from the list
of available formats, give the document a name and make sure the little box
labelled "Automatic filename extension" is ticked (checked). OpenOffice will
svae the document in Word format which your PC/Word should be able to read.
Note that simply saving the document with a ".doc" extension is *not*
sufficient. You must follow the procedure I just described.
