Re: FLASH: Font type preferences in flash?

[Neil MacLennan]

Hi,


>> Do either TT or PS fonts matter with Flash's compression, speed, or

>> exportability to swf?


I've recently got Generator and have found that certain PS fonts (maybe even

*all* PS fonts -- not had time to check) don't appear to render properly

once "generated". (bad spacing, vertical text instead of horizontal etc)


TT fonts worked fine! Maybe it's my setup -- does anyone have any info on

this. I know you can upload the font (at least I think I read that

somewhere) to the Generator Server and I admit I haven't tried that yet, but

I am curious that if you do have to upload the PS fonts -- why should the TT

fonts work when they're not uploaded?


In the event that there *is* an issue with Generator and PS fonts the

warning is this:


"If you're creating content that may somewhere down the line be used with

Generator (or there's even the slightest chance that is might be!) then

start off with TT fonts -- or risk the punishment: having to change all your

backdated work from PS to TT -- like I've just had to do!"


For those of you not familiar to Generator: "breaking apart" the lettering

is of no use as the words need to be real letters for the variables to be

readable be Generator.


Having said all this, I'm new to mailing lists (two weeks!) -- but this

one's great -- can I discuss generator issues here? or can someone point me

in the direction of a Generator list. The MM site doesn't appear to mention

one -- just this one. (although I think the above comment is of value to

this list)
