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!
