I may be repeating a well-known fact - even if that be so, it should bear
repeating:
I recently authored a silly little stack for kids to type words into fields on
one of my Macs; set the standard font size in the fields to 36 . . . nothing
mind-blowing
popped them on my Ubuntu boxes up at the language school and experience a
lovely case of shrinking fonts!!!!
I had to set the font (vera bitstream something-or-other) for each field - then
the text size was restored:
now . . . the funny thing about this was that I had no selected a field font on
the Mac knowing that Mac fonts and Linux fonts work in rather different ways!
so - before anyone feels confident about authoring something on a PC running
Mac OS or WIN; breath in and make damn sure you have a PC running Linux as an
intermediary between your work and what you bung in the box for the end-user.
sincerely, Richmond Mathewson
