Yes; many, many times: this is even, potentially a problem on a single platform as you have no idea as to
what fonts someone has installed in their system.

I gave up using real buttons about 12 years ago just because I was deploying stuff across
Windows, Macintosh and Linux.

What I do, instead, is make a button up to look the way I want it (normally on Macintosh with the Charcoal font, or on Xubuntu with the Ubuntu font) and then import a snapshot of the button so I end up with an image
that will look the same regardless of which platform it is seen on.

Obviously this involves a little extra time, but in terms of aesthetics it wins hands down as you know that no-one is going to open up your standalone and be faced with a "tar" or a "o nex" button.

I've got some buttons with text in them. On Windows (where I develop) they
look fine. On Linux the buttons are a little bit narrower so the text is
cut off.

Anyone handled a similar problem?
