Hey, I've designed the graphical interface for a website in photoshop and now
i'm trying to create animated buttons in flash. trouble is, the font i have
used to design the site in PS is not listed in the flash font list. This is
the case for lots of different fonts in PS. The original font was TTF so i
converted it to OT1 and i've dropped a copy into all the adobe font folders I
can find but its still not picking it up. Does flash load its fonts from a
specific folder and if so, does anyone know which? I cant figure out why both
TTF and OT1 versions of this font are listed in one CS3 app and aren't listed
in the other. I've also tried image drag and drop from PS to flash but it just
imports the text as a gray box. i'm really stuck here, if anyone has any
advice i'd be really grateful. thanks.

In my own experience, Flash takes it fonts from your system fonts. So you
probably need to install the fonts in your system (Windows) as opposed to
installing them in specific applications.

I'm uncertain on this one, so if someone else has better information to offer,
please do.

Sorry I forgot to say i'm using a mac. The font is installed using font book and its present in the system fonts folder. thanks.
