Thank you Sam !

 ..for saying something I'd not fully realised up until now - I previously

was in the practice of converting text to symbols only if I needed to adjust

properties or tween... and I assumed that if the text (whatever font) was in

the finished swf file - it was there for everyone to see, regardless of

whether they had that particular font or not.  I just read my help file

again, (its all there) - this time more thoroughly!
