Does on-rev run on Linux? If you create a directory called '.fonts' 
under your user name and install the fonts you want to use in your 
images in that directory, LiveCode will find them.

A quick test shows this to be true using LC Server 8.1.4, but you may 
have to do some experimenting to get them working in a script accessed 
through your web server. Executing a script to show the fontnames works 
from the command line but without having done any real investigating, I 
have to admit it's not working when accessed through my server. This 
isn't an on-rev nor an Apache server so ymmv. If you decide to go the 
standalone route, you should be able to install your fonts this way to 
use them in the standalone.

Good luck!
