I was pleased to see a couple of ttf files in my runtime distribution fileset

Does this mean that I can count on A97 to scour my app for TrueType
fonts used in it and automatically include the ttf files needed for a
runtime distribution fileset? This is NOT what happened with the ADT
and Access 2.0. You had to find them yourself, determine what font
files names were needed and include them in the ADT setup wizard
data file. I would like to know if the automatic inclusion of the font
files is reliably implemented in A97 - what's your own experience say?

Doubtful. The runtime package likely just includes a few core fonts that are
normally used by Access.

You could very easily use a font that doesn't belong to Microsoft and for which
you have no legal right to distruibute so it would not be prudent for the wizard
to simply "scan" your app and include all the fonts found.
