I have heard of embedded fonts.  Not just acrobat and web, but also 
applications and documents on several operating systems.  I'd like to 
learn more of this.

Just having look-the-same fonts for multiple operating system and 
installing them might work.

Having those stuffed in custom properties and then birthed and 
installed with shell or AppleScript would be cool if a restart is not 
needed or anything like that.

Even cooler would be having three fonts built into the engine and they 
look the same on whatever platform.
