5. A method comprising: receiving a font mapping from a user via a computer system, said user operating a design program; exporting a design from said design program, said design including a system font; and applying said font mapping to said design during said exporting step using a processor; wherein, during said applying step, said font mapping maps said system font to at least one corresponding target font; said system font is linked to said design: (i) continuously before and after said font mapping is received from said user, and (ii) using an encoding prior to said exporting step; after said exporting step, said target font is linked to said design using a different encoding; said design is not displayed using said target font while said design is viewed in said design program; and said design is displayed using said target font when said design is rendered outside of said design program in an external player or inside said design program in a virtual external player instantiated within the design program.

The method of claim 5 , further comprising: limiting said user to a set of input fonts for said mapping; wherein said set is a set of system fonts known to said design program prior to a first interaction between said design program and said user.
