Hi

I have created a dynamic text box which is used to put the length of a sound clip (which is worked out using AS2).

I want to use a font which isn’t standard - VAGRounded, so I need to embed the characters.

If I select Family : VAGRounded and Style : thin then all is well. Ditto if I pick style:light but if I pick Style:bold or Style:black then the nothing displays

In my windows font folder all 4 appear to exist.

I notice that exactly the same appears to happen with the times font too (except some of the family options are different)

When I open the font-mapping box it tells me that there aer some fonts that I can’t use but there is not list of what they are.

How can I please get the characters like bold to embed properly

THanks
