The cross platform approach to the shockwave solution was to get as 
close as possible to a similar look of the fonts, this included size. I 
could see using a font map that was specifically designed to 
accommodate text in buttons and GUI objects dependent on things fitting 
best. I guess it would be good to have one map prioritized for style 
and another map priority set for fit.
