I'll add Acrobat too. ;-)
Do you remember the Cross World Computing dll's?
They could load a font in runtime, so no installation
in the system was needed.
Did they work as promised in both platforms?

Hmmm, i think that Adobe Acrobat could claim
to be one of the best cross-platform font
rendering tools. Recent pdf specifications
clearly shows the direction that Adobe is
aiming Acrobat: A multimedia cross platform
tool.
Before doubting this, check by yourself
all the multimedia features added to
pdf version 1.5
