SUGGESTION: It would be very useful if the fonts that are used in a FileMaker solution could be embedded and deployed together with this FileMaker solution, as one package.
WHY: If you wish to use a specific font in your FileMaker solution you need to make sure that it is installed on your computer. This means that the users who want to work with your FileMaker solution need to be aware of the font problem and install this certain font. If somebody does not install the font (because he didn't know or doesn't know how to do this) in the worst case text is cut off (as the user's replacement font has wider characters e.g.)
I agree. That's why every solution I make is always based upon 'arial'. Couldn't get more common than that. Even then there is always a discrepancy between Macs and PCs. Not just width of characters but also line spacing.
I did a checkbox field once with six vertical values that fitted nicely above a tab panel. The client was constantly telling me that one value was missing. They were using a PC and the last value was hidden behind the tab panel.
