Hi Slava Did you ever attempt to update the fontmap update to Director MX would solve the problem, or did you ever consider seeing if the corruption was a result of incorrect mapping of the character map on the Mac for the fonts that you used? The update I was thinking about was:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/director/ts/documents/dmx_update.htm but I'm not sure if that would do anything but its just a thought. Not sure of any changes to MX2004, but then again I wouldn't notice something that I don't use. Sincerely Mark R.
