Hi John, We've been confronting similar issues the last few days. There are some subtle differences in the way font embedding works between the two versions which can mess you up. Here's how we have fixed this:
Our problem was with Arial Narrow, set to "bold". The font that is embedded is "Arial Narrow", not "Arial Narrow Bold" (which may not even exist). This will cause a problem at runtime, but you would never know when you're authoring in the IDE, because it looks like the correct font is embedded. I fixed my problem by doing a Find/Replace, replacing all instances of Arial Narrow with Miso Light, and then replacing all Miso Light with Arial Narrow. The reasons for using Miso Light are that I knew I wasn't using it anywhere else, but also very important, because Miso Light is narrower than Arial Narrow Bold. If I had chosen a wider font, then some of my text fields would get expanded to a second line which would mess up my layout. On Thu, Aug 11, 2011 at 8:06 AM, John R.
