There may be some font options that are Mac only. I think Buzz is a mac guy and I'm guessing you aren't (the Mac part, not the guy part).
I had thought that those archaic font options had been ported - NOPE! I just checked my Win development system & Roy is correct. - it's not available in that same context menu.
But the Lingo apparently functions completely: the property sticks & is clearable & displays in the PI (so a Shockwave movie can run 'unimpaired'?)
the display engine doesn't seem to support it (probably an old mac toolbox call).
Vectors sound much nicer

To Buzz:
depending on the font, you may be able to use 2 identical field members to 'build it'
place them onstage on top of one another & set the text of the front one to outline
you said "depending on the font". I have tried it in DIR 8.5.1 and DIR 2004 MX (win) with several fonts, including some very common ones like Verdana. I have tried texts and fields but I never had the option "outline" Can you name a font, where you should have that option?
Thanks! Michael
