Hey Matt,

ohhhhhh -- I'm going to try this today -- I have the fonts installed on the
Mac in the usual way (as well as all the games I'm trying to play to be
clever) and I had a feeling something needed to change about the
configuration.

Werner - I've done just that: The file compiles just fine unless I try to
change the font. But I'm hoping Matt's advice works. I'll let you know.

Thanks all!

Best,
Jesse
