Cross Platform Font Layout

[Ralph DiMola]

+ 10 also. Thanks Mark. Enlightening. I've read several articles on this but
this one was easy on the brain. Bookmarked!

I talked to my partner in crime and she reminded me that we were the third
one to get the afore mentioned Word file and the problem manifested itself
by looking OK on the screen but the PDF was wrong because of the font naming
was screwed up by the second person to get the file by not having the bold
version of the font on their system. The only way we found to fix it was to
re-style the bold of that font for the entire document. It was hundreds of
8.5/11 pages. That's why we just had to laugh when the bad version of the
document circled back around to us 5 years later. 
Fonts can be a real pain (am I understating it?)

Kudos also to Mark Waddingham who calmly delivered supportive info in an
even response, even after reading for days how he and the team are liars,
incompetents, and cheats.
