Thanks Josh --
Do you know if the pan-Unicode font situation is improving in 10.5 or
Vista?
In my situation, I need the installation to be a "clean" as possible,
so installing fonts etc. is just not going to work. Perhaps the
(ugly) alternative would be to save the text as bitmaps on the
author's machine, and just display it as a picture on the reader's
machine. The amount of text is rather small so the overall byte
count is not really an issue.
