re: fonts, Arial is definitely the sans serif font with the least 
differences cross platform. Helvetica will have more differences.

* If you use a font name that doesn't exist, like "0", then you always 
end up with the default font for the user's computer.

* Windows fonts aren't scalable, so you will get strange effects if you 
choose a text size that doesn't exist for that font. Mac fonts are 
scaleable.

re: gotchas- who knows!

thinks likely to be different cross platform are: startup, quitting, 
menus, printing, quicktime effects, exporting screenshots, and of 
course fonts. :-)
