Why is Font not showing up in idvd font menu?

Question

hi everyone, I'm new, not really, but sorta. anyway, I'm using idvd 08 to create a dvd, I started with a magicidvd and then clicked create project and have done a lot of changes, some submenus, etc. The bggest issue I have now is that I really want to use a certain font, it is a truetype font, it is activated via Suitcase Fusion, but it does not appear in iDVD's font menu, it does however appear in the font menus of other apps. I have restarted and even created a whole new project to no avail. any ideas are appreciated.
A second less important question is this, how do I make it so that my "play" button on the main menu plays the movie instead of it going to the submenu containing "play" and "scene selection" ?
Ok, figured that menu question out. Thanks.
Sorry guys, new question, how do I get the bullet next to a button center with the text?
Hard to believe I help so many mac users, huh?

mine seems to be reversed, selecting right from that label menu puts the bullet on the left side of the text
That is working correctly, then. You are telling it where to put the LABEL. Not the button. (So selecting "right" puts the label to the right of the button.)

still not centered though, it's that bullet that looks like a paint splat, I think that may be how it is supposed to be, though no other bullets center either, maybe its the font? futura medium, there's a lot of space under the type, like it's away from the baseline.
Most likely it is the font. Some fonts have their baseline set VERY low, so something that is "Centered" horizontally actually looks way off to our eye.

I have one more question now, I attempted to burn the dvd last night, but get an error that says "Project Error - There were errors during the project validation that have to be fixed before burning the project." I get an ok button, and sometimes I get an "Open DVD Map button, which takes me to the map view, but I see no problems.
I have not personally encountered any errors yet, so I do not have personal experience with the error-reporting mechanism.
However, my understanding is that viewing your project in DVD Map view, will display error messages next to where the error occurs in the project.
So turn on the DVD Map, and take a look at every single menu closely. I expect you will see the error in there somewhere.
