Hi all. Does anyone have experience porting an image from a MSWindows
platform to a Macintosh platform. In particular, label alignment. 
Labels that aligned [on the right] just fine on Windows are mis-aligned
on the Mac.  

The Windows image is using a System font that is not available on the
Mac.  The assumption here is that if the same fonts where used, they
would align just fine.  But this is not possible as the image was built
around the System font on a Windows platform.  Further, just because the
fonts have the same name on the different platforms does not necessarily
mean they will manifest themselves in like manner.

Any clues, experience?  Can you lead me in the right direction?

Thanks,
