If you don't need the text to be editable but would really like to 
use a non-standard font then external PNG files created in Fireworks 
may be an option. Provided you don't compress them - ie just save 
them as 'standard' Fireworks files (Fireworks native format is PNG) - 
then you retain the ability to edit/style the text. Set up Fireworks 
as your external image editor from within Rev to take real advantage 
of this capacity.

Cheers,

Terry...
