I didn't mean bitmaps. I was imagining if Flash had to read the PostScript

code itself. I don't really know how it deals with this. It seems to me if

it could read bitmaps for PS fonts, it could read them all the time, but I

don't know how Adobe Type Manager works either. If ATM is letting flash read

the bitmap fonts, then I suppose that would explain it. And too, I'm on a

mac, and I'm not a having a bit of trouble with PS fonts, so I'm at a loss.

I think we need an MM person to tell us how it works and what the deal is :)
