Sending fonts with distributed software

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.
