I didn't provide a complete requirement spec: I want to be able to
specify the user font file as a run-time option, either as a Java
property or as a command-line option. The entity approach doesn't
satisfy that requirement. But otherwise, yes, entities will work just fine.
I realize now that I have been so brain damaged by XML that I don't even
think about using external text entities any more. This from someone who
literally learned SGML at the feet of Charles Goldfarb :-)
