Beautiful!  Worked like a charm!

I put both externals into a folder called "Externals" that will ship 
with the game regardless of platform.  That way even during 
development I know it's working properly as I have not set Metacard 
itself to use the externals.

Then on preOpenStack:

   put fGameFolder & "Externals/" into loadExtras
   if the platform is "MacOS" then
     put loadExtras & "revfont.bundle" into loadWhat
   else put loadExtras & "revfont.dll" into loadWhat
   set the externals of stack "nameOfMainStack" to loadWhat
