Cross platform fonts was a nightmare because there where no free fonts 
freely avalaible for Windows, Macintosh and Linux.

But thanks to Bitstream, things are changing.

Bitstream decided to deliver freely with a gnu licence the vera font ; it 
is a full set (serif sans and mono, roman italic and bold) of trueptype 
fonts. These font are of a very high level of readability, even at 9 or 10 
points. They equal or surpasse the best "enhanced screen" font that where 
already on the market.

These font are freely avalaible for commercial use.

It could an opportunity for Revolution to embedd these fonts in all 
versions of Revolution.
