FLASH: RE: FLash file tends to crash browser on a PC's running Windows NT

[Wolkert, Niklas]

I read a Techpaper on Macromedias site that NT machines using Type One fonts

and also Adobe Typemanager causes Flash to crash. 


To help this problem you have to take out all type one fonts from your

FLA-file.
