Embedding Fonts

[Robert J. Earp]

Mark, thanks for the info however I'm looking primarily for a Win 
solution (as that's where pretty much all of my clients are) and it 
really does not help much having to mess around with loaders and 
registries and the like.  A number of clients just don't want stuff 
loaded on their machines at all, and yes I know this does not make a lot 
of sense to some people.  Somehow ToolBook does not do this, you simply 
tell it to embed a font and assuming you have the rights to the font 
then it allows you.

Thanks again for the reply.

best, Bob...
