Hi Paul,
Store the font file in a cusom property. Save it to the temp folder
when you need it on the older machine. Use revFontLoad to make the
font available to your stack (look up the command in the docs) and
revUnloadFont to remove the font from memory. When you're done, delete
the temporary font file.
Keep in mind that including fonts in your software for distribution
may be a violation of copyrights.
