Embedding fonts anomalies

[Shari]

Apologies, no, Alejandro.  I am experimenting with this for the first 
time and after reading the archives of the problems others have 
encountered, am trying to foresee problems and solve them in advance. 
No idea if my idea is a good one or will solve the problems others 
have described, though I'm expecting it should solve one... choosing 
a font that actually exists (or that you've successfully loaded).

So I put forth what I hoped was a solution.  If others had tried 
similar things or found better solutions, perhaps they would post 
them.  But you are the only one who responded so far.

All I know is that after reading thru various older postings about 
embedding fonts, there appeared to be gotchas and I did not find 
posts that solved the gotchas, only posts that defined them.  And one 
wouldn't know if they had a gotcha until deploying on many machines.

Off I go to play with my fonts...  :-)
