give that excuse, as well, if I couldn't find the answer.  However, on my NT

Had to respond, as an instructor I wouldn't say that it was the OS. (I go

out of my way to not guess or give bad information) This problem was most

likely caused by ATM since this is a fairly common problem that is on the

Adobe side NOT Microsofts. It occurs when using Type 1 fonts and has been

posted here (At least it was with Flash 3) But then it is so much easier to

bash Microsoft with absolutely no information. You'd hardly ever get called

on it.


If you view the posts on this list you'd see that the vast majority of

problems are not on the Intel platform. I'm not sure that proves anything

but if you wanted to go with anecdotal evidence rather than deciding on the

facts, it would seem to indicate that there is a platform likely to have

problems and it isn't from Redmond. Of course that is the danger of posting

on opinion rather than fact.
