Am using the same version as well..AE2014..Windows 8.1I did a quick test on a PC at the office and it seems that Gill Sans is not a stock PC font. You might comment those out or change them to a stock font like Helvetica or something. Once I removed that it launched on PC just fine.

I haven't done font size, but color you can do like this:

var txt=myPanel.add("staticText",[0,0,100,20],"txt");

var theColorArray = [1, 0.1, 0.2, 1];

var g = txt.graphics;

var c = g.newPen(g.PenType.SOLID_COLOR,theColorArray,1);

g.foregroundColor = c;

Specifying the font attributes is covered in the JavaScript Tools Guide. Please post an example if you figure out how to make it work.
