I'm not sure if this is *the* cause there, but if I saw that myself then

the first thing I'd do is examine whether my Verdana font outlines were

still available. You could look inside your directories to find the

files... you could try a new small test movie to see if another file can

access those outlines.


There could very well be other causes too, but how does it go when you

examine the Verdana font outlines...?
