[ale] Installing MS fonts

[Jeff Hubbs]

I've seen various versions of this design flaw over the years. When you 
generate a document, do *not* make the appearance of the document depend 
on the vagaries of the environment in which it is viewed. I'm familiar 
with a situation at a federal agency where documents - and in fact, even 
correct function of the software - depend on the version of Word 
installed at the end-user end, and it's as accident-prone now as it was 
in 2003 when I first observed it there.

Don't. <slap> Do. <slap> That. <slap>

Embed those fonts, paint in the text as bitmap, pay someone to write it 
in felt-tip pen after it comes out of the printer, *anything*. :)
