Re: FLASH: Font problems

[r a n d y K A T O]

We've had similar problems. When we take an .fla created on one computer and

open it on another computer (same software, same fonts), there is SOMETIMES

a vertical offset -- like the leading is increased, but even on a single

line of text. I've never seen it slip back into place though.


There was something said on the list about a week or so ago about locking

the font layer to keep something like this from happening, but I haven't

tried it. Is this what that post was about? (I'd have revisited the original

post, but I have my flasher mail archived on a different machine)


Anybody have any ideas what could be causing this?


BTW, we're on macs.


TIA,

Randy
