RE: FLASH: MM's Flash 4 wish list (re: PC's and Postscript Fonts)

[Len Harrison]

Rusty,


I brought this up some time ago, but did not pursue the issue beyond a brief

comment after hearing that Flash did not support Postscript Fonts on the PC

under '95 and that NT automatically converted them to TrueType.


I have two machines I use for Flash: at work I'm on NT 4.0 SP 4; at home I'm

in '95 OSR2. Anything I bring home from work includes Myriad Type 1 Multiple

Master fonts in it because we've set that as a corporate standard. This font

and a few others I've played with such as Nuevo and Tekton work fine for me

on both machines. I've also generated new instances of the fonts and had

those work. Someone said something about checking the font through turning

antialiasing text on and off. I do that. It works. Both machines. I'm using

ATM deluxe on both also.


I'm not sure whether I'm confused or "lucky" or doing something right and

different. If it makes a difference my default printers are all Postscript

and I have Acrobat distiller installed with all its assistants. If there's

anyway I can do to help, I'd be glad to. If you'd like to have your coworker

send me a file using Tekton or Nueva or anything from the Freehand group to

see if it works for me, I'd be glad to check. Don't know where we'd take

this next, but that might be a place to start.
