Choosing fonts

Hi All,

I wanted to know if you have any strategies for choosing fonts for your Captivate projects.  I develop in Flash, and there is an option to embed fonts with my published swfs.  This ensures that the 'consumer' can view the selected font even if it isn't installed on their system. Flash also embeds generic sans/sefif fonts with the player that render the same regardless of mac/pc/linux platform.  That doesn't appear to be an option in Captivate.

 

What's the best way to ensure that my fonts render the same on mac/linux/pc?  Am I missing any 'generic' system fonts that are embedded in Captivate?  Im looking for a basic sans font.

 

Thanks!
