Michael,
Font management handling on Windows is not a problem, I'd go as far as...
The bog standard handling is better than the bog standard handing on RISC
OS.
Additionally there are a number of third part Font managers available on
the Win side.
The one I use is "The Font Thing" (tft) and there are others...
As Fay and I often shuffle OvPro file between RISC OS OVPro and Win OvPro
we have a number of Fonts mapped between the two so that the documents
remain much the same in appearance.
On Win OvPro.
Menubar Misc-Font manager and the third top button is "Map"
