One thing you can do (which I'm doing for text in cross-platform
training screens) is to set up your text on your platform of choice in
your font of choice, then snapshot it. In the stack you distribute, show
images only, not actual text. It'll display perfectly, guaranteed,
without any consideration of whether or not the target machine has your
particular fonts installed.

I'm reviving an old Hypercard tutorial on English Metrics -- how to
scan metrical verse in English. It contains lots of scansions, which
have this general form:
x / | / / | x (/) | x / | x (/)
A sight so touching in its majesty
As you can see, the spacing of the two lines _in relation to each
other_ is critical.
I'm finding that when I close and reopen my stack, the spacing of the
upper (scansion) line is sometimes off -- too condensed or too spaced
out. I set the Font for the whole stack file to Palatino. I'm also not
sure if that's a good idea, because I haven't yet been able to ttest
whether it will work on Windows. I'm developing on OS X.
One solution is to put all the scansion-line-pairs into Courier --
monospaced, universally available, and really ugly. Another is to do
all the scansions as graphic images, but there are hundreds of them.
Is there a better solution?
