Here is a concrete example. I don't understand how Rev can be handling
fonts in such a way that this happens.
We open Rev, create a new stack, a new button, and then set the fonts. The
choices available in the 'i' category are these:
itwasntme
itc avantgarde
itc bookman
itc zapf chancery
Now we open OpenOffice and choose a font in a word document, and are
offered, in the 'i' category, these choices:
idautomation3of9
iscopeur
iscocteur
itwasntme
italian garamond
So how exactly is Rev getting its fonts? And why does it appear to get a
bunch that OpenOffice is not getting? And why does it fail to get the
idautomation? Just to verify, I tried Kwrite. This gets the same fonts as
OpenOffice, with an additional one, impact.
Very strange.
