embed fonts

Post by Wally » Sun Jul 20, 2008 12:11 pm

I've done a thorough search in the documentation and can't find how to embed a font into Revolution. Is it via revFontLoad?

Will an old Mac System 9 suitcase font embed and be usable in Windows?

Wally,

You can use revFontLoad to load any compatible font file on disk.

This work only if the font file is compatible with the operating system. Some fonts are compatible but won't work (especially with earlier versions of Mac OS X).

If a font comes from Mac OS 9 and is incompatible Windows, revFont won't help you.

Best,

Mark
