lingo-l fonts

Hello all. When I set a text field to Century Gothic, the text looks just right. Given that my user's machines may not have Century Gothic, I want to embed the font in my movie. When I do so (either bitmap or otherwise), the Century Gothic * version looks much worse. Ideas? Thanks! Harry [To

To be honest, though, unless you want editable text, the only benefit the text member has is its convenience Are you including anti-aliasing as a convenience? That's a pretty big one for me. I find your idea of using png files intriguing. I guess you couldn't do much in the way of text

Antialiasing, in fact, is an absolute requirement for some of us foreign-language users and odd-ball font users. The following little-known phenomenon makes fields totally useless for half a dozen characters in the upper half of one-byte character sets: they will not display at all unless

Fonts on Win and Mac almost never look the same. This is not only in Director. Have you checked the fonts on both platforms in any other program? There are ways to manipulate the fonts and the spacing in Macromedia Fontographer. But this is complicated. You could also generate a Win-font on the

Hi Pytkin. I have never had a crash when selecting or embedding a font. The problem with the national characters certainly is no Director problem. If the national characters work fine in any other program (MS-word for example) but not in Director, write your text in the other program, then copy

namaste, As Mr. Fiskeaux says, unless you have a compelling reason otherwise, the thing to do is to embed the fonts in the director movie. then you don't have to install the fonts on the system, you don't have to worry about which fonts are on the system. you still have to test cross-platform,

I'm also curious--are you developing on Greek Windows? Is your font a true Greek font--i.e., does it use code page 1253? Director 7 dropped support for code pages other than 1252 (Latin 1), and I'd be happy to find out that they restored it in D8. I'd appreciate knowing the system and version
