Hi Tom, You can do all three in LC as well. Embedding Fonts: Look into revFontLoad and revFontUnload in the dictionary Converting blocks to bitmaps: Look into export snapshot and import snapshot in the dictionary Fontmap: Store a table that allows you to do a lookup per platform. This table can be saved to a file, stored in a custom property, or stored in a field as three examples.
