Font Problem

[Marty Knapp]

I have a Mac only LiveCode standalone that requires a custom symbol font 
(yes, it's licensed). I use revFontLoad to put it into use. This works 
great on my 3 Macs and 90% of my users. The other 10% report that that 
it does not load.

After I run revFontLoad I check the fontnames to see if the font is 
present and then alert the user if it hasn't loaded. If it hasn't, I 
then have these people manually install the font in Library>Fonts and 
restart. A percentage of these report that my app still doesn't find the 
font. In a few cases the user had a 3rd party font management program in 
use. 2 users reported that they had to uninstall the font program before 
my app would recognize the font. One was using FontExplorer and the 
other FontAgent, I believe. I tried FontExplorer and it worked fine for 
me - no conflict with revFontLoad.

On a couple of occasions the people emailed me and used the font in the 
email to show that the font was working everywhere but in my app.

I usually have people use OnyX or FontNuke to clear the font caches, 
though that hasn't seemed to help

I've tried using graphics instead of a font, but the resolution isn't 
high enough for my use, so the font is required.

Any suggestions for me?
