Lennart: it may just take someone poking at it a bit to get it to work;
like I said, I don't know what kind of compression they use.

Here's a mini-FAQ I just made, BTW:

---

MV Boli                 v1.00   NO.
Palatino Linotype       v1.40   NO.
Raavi                   v1.06   NO.

Sylfaen                 v1.00   YES!

Tahoma                  v3.15   NO.
Times New Roman         v3.00   YES!    (note: v2.82 was a corefont)
Trebuchet               v1.23   NO.     (note: v1.22 was a corefont)
Tunga                   v1.07   NO.
Verdana                 v2.43   YES!    (note: v2.35 was a corefont)

Wingdings               v2.55   YES!

...and AFAICT, for the XP fonts that do allow installable embedding,
there is noting in the "License" field to prevent their installation in
a different OS.

Andale Mono was also a corefont, but I didn't see it installed on my system.

The most important fonts to make RTF files for are thus the ones that
weren't core fonts (easy install :), but do allow "installable
embedding".  And of those, just Arial Narrow, Symbol and Wingdings jump
out at me as important ones.  I'll just whip up a RTF right now :)
