John, There's a distinction to be made here, If I may...


Yes, Flash is able to show any font because it "converts to

outlines" whatever text is there. Essentially the letterforms are

converted to symbols which are stored in the SWF. So what you said

is true, but to my mind someone might get confused by this

"conversion" and  "modify > break apart".


Perhaps a distinction without a difference, but it struck me as

something I wanted to share.


Back to work this lovely friday afternoon...
