I've experienced the same problem countless times. I loathe the way Flash [mis]handles fonts. The only way I've found to sort of get around it is by opening the font in Fontographer (or something like it), renaming the font so that instead of "Futura" with a style of "Light", I name the font "Futura Light" with no style. Again, this is far from ideal, but after installing that new font, I was at least able to select it from the Font menu in Flash.
Hope that helps. Jack Doyle ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 May 2006 10:40:45 -0400 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Flashcoders] Q:missing font styles in fonts menu!! To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hi I'm pulling my hair out over missing font styles in the futura family. I've re-installed both type 1 and truetype versions of futura but no matter what I do I only see one version of futura in the fonts menu. When opening an older flash fla that used futura light, I can't re-map to the correct font. Anyone have a similar problem??
