I would end up with font names that I believe are in unicode characters 
and did not display well in Rev.  And I do not know how to resolve that 
at this time  :-(

Example:

Geneva CE
Monaco CE
Times CE
Helvetica CE
Courier CE
qMmpS Pro W6
qMmpS Pro W3
qMmS Pro W4
qMm Pro W6
qMm Pro W3
???
qMmpS Std W8
Geeza Pro Bold
Lucida Grande CE

Lines 6 through 12 show as characters above the 159 character range and 
are not readable on my English setup here.  I assume that the fonts on 
those lines are unicode.
