I've been waiting to see if anyone has anything to add about this, but I 
guess not. I suspect the reason is that no one has seen it (I never 
have.) I regularly use Ariel in stacks on Windows without any problem, 
so I'm not sure why you aren't seeing a display. Does your field text 
contain high-ascii characters? Maybe the Ariel font doesn't contain the 
characters you're using; each font is a little different. That's about 
all I can think of. Ariel does fine on Windows for me. I've never seen a 
centering problem either.

As an experiment, try making a new stack with a single field and no 
scripts. Type some words in the field and make the field's textfont 
Ariel. Now open it in Windows. Does it display there? If so, then the 
problem is something in your particular stack rather than in the field 
or font.
