Actually, I said "your own fonts" meaning *you* create them, not fonts that
already belong to Apple and Microsoft.  There are font apps that allow you
to create your own, as well as import and manipulate existing fonts.  But
I'd guess this is way too many hoops for you to jump through -- choosing
fonts and sizing your text accordingly for each platform should be enough.
