FLASH: fonts & flash

[TR Henigson]

I built a few fla's on a Windows NT box which became unstable. I moved them

over to

my Windows 98 laptop, continued working on them and then punched the swf's

out to

my server. Well, the fonts were kind of funky: italicized text was

extra-italicized,

triggers that were laid over text were misaligned... I figured the fonts

must not be

the same on the laptop but I checked and they were all in there - not in the

Fonts folder

in the Control Panels, but in the font list that displays when I open ATM.

Anyway, just

in case they were different, I overwrote them with fonts I pulled off the NT

box. The

only difference, in the end, was that on the NT box, the fonts could live in

the Fonts

folder in Control Panels, whereas 98 wouldn't allow me to put them there but

seemed to

be fine with them in ATM. To make a long story short, the only way I could

get the fonts

in my movies right, was by porting the fla's back to the NT box, crossing my

fingers that

it would work long enough to compile them into swf's, and then get the swf's

off. I'd

sure like to be able to work on these fla's on my laptop without having to

move every

single piece of text to adjust for the disparity. Any help is greatly

appreciated? The

desktop machine is really unstable and I hate depending on it right now.

Thanks,


Ted
