In the old Hypercard, you could put FONT resources in the resource 
fork of the stack and they would be recognized by HC. It was a 
wonderful solution. We were told it wasn't 'kosher' to do that, but 
it worked great!!!

As the basic concept of fonts is not really platform specific, it 
seems like there should be some way to do this in Rev. Perhaps even a 
'special set' of fonts that could be included or sold separately.
