If you're at all familiar with Storyline, that's what the current software was reworked from years ago. Storyline is also the base for eFiction, among others. Yep, the counter thing will be addressed with the rewrite of the storyboarding.
As to obscure font support, unless someone specifically asks for it (and the need would have to be demonstrated as being overall something many needed), the rich text editor only allows the fonts that are in the menu for it.
