They are NOT the same for each platform (but they look the same).  The
sizes, metrics and other data/settings have been altered so they look and
act the same on each platform.  For example, if you set a font to 9 point on
a MAC, it will look larger on a PC.  With my custom fonts, 9 point is the
same size on both platforms.

Yes, I own them.  Are they for sale?  Hmmm... Contact me off-list.

I don't know anything about "attaching" fonts to an application.  I just
include the fonts in my installer.  And this works fine [for me].
