    Hi Artur,

Let me add something else that's somewhat related. In my experience if you try to add a text entry field and specify a font that the user doesn't have installed it will default to the Articulate fault I think. I've tried to use Myriad Pro and a couple of script type fonts in text entry screens and they work great when played back on my PC. But when sent to a colleague who doesn't have those fonts a substitution occurs. I think I can understand why that would be (the font can't be rendered if it doesn't exist on the system?) but it's still unfortunate.
