RE: FLASH: FONTS LOST - help !!

[Eric Stewart]

Another font manager that is really good comes with the Corel Draw Suite. It

is called bit navigator. It allows you to keep track of all the fonts on

your machine. It also allows you to drag and drop fonts to and from you

/windows/fonts folder. This is important because you don't want to many

fonts it that particular folder, windows acts funny on alot of machines if

you have more than 400 or so fonts in the folder. So you just drag and drop

them in and out as you need them. Hope this helps.

	Adobe Type Manager Deluxe is pretty good and certainly better than doing it

by hand. I must have at least 2000 fonts all told ( though not all

installed) and I wouldn't want to try to track them myself. I haven't found

anything better that is out now. Adobe bought and killed the best one on the

PC.

	I'd get ATM if I were you. It manages not only type 1 fonts but true type

as well. You can make font packs of fonts of your choosing and activate and

de-activate them as needed.

	If you are using an NT system then I don't know if that is a good choice.

Every time I have opened a type 1 font in Flash I have crashed the machine I

was on at the time. I don't have real depth of experience on this, but 3

hard crashes sure were a strong hint.
