Good to know Trevor - thanks. I've been testing this out, loading the
font in the startup handler. So far so good.

Hi Marty,
I include a password font with some of my applications that I load with
revFontLoad. I store the file in the bundle alongside my application stacks.

Thanks for your input Mark,
I would agree that properly installing the font is the best approach.
But as I can't seem to get my question answered by Apple about
requirements for the Mac app store, I'm assuming that they won't allow it.
I did some tests quite a while ago with revFontLoad and
Hi Marty,
Mac OS X 10.5 and later might detect the usage of your font, before your script

I want to package a font with my Mac only app and use revFontLoad to
load it into memory. Is there a problem with just tucking it inside the
application bundle and loading it from there? Or should I put it into a
custom property and then write it out to the user's hard drive and put
it into use
