I agree 100% on this issue. I have lost count as to how many times the missing font issue has come up in projects. It always stalls a project, sometimes for days (especially when one group of developers are in a different time zone on the other side of the world). Adobe/Macromedia need to

With respect to the legality, fonts may be likely candidates for piracy - but there's nothing to stop people swapping system font folders. So given that users can copy and swap font files, I really don't see the problem introducing a utility in the IDE that collects the fonts for any given project.

So how can QuarkXpress offer such a utility? Or FlightCheck? I haven't done any print work in years - and I haven't yet had any *major* issues with Flash and font management, knock on wood. However I did pick up some good habits from when I did work in print, and I'm very impressed with t

So how can QuarkXpress offer such a utility? I don't think it would be illegal to collect the fonts used in a FLA by using a utility in the Flash IDE. It's up to the user to ensure that font licensing terms are met in terms of subsequent distribution etc. Clark On 4/13/06, Shaw, Matt (MTVN) <[EM
