I’ve noticed that Flash embeds fonts for buttons and movies, but I have a couple of text boxes that dont have the correct font. (if you want to know what I’m talking about, check out [http://web.mit.edu/lavaboy/www/newsite.html](http://web.mit.edu/lavaboy/www/newsite.html))  
The text were it says Welcome to Raf’s page, and the scroll thing at the bottom doesnt have the correct font…  
Is there a way to fix this? The scroll is a dynamic textbox inside a movie clip.

Thanks

Embed the font outline. Click on your text box, open the properties panel (CTRL+F3) and click on the button that says “Character…” Then choose to embed the font outlines.

It will make it look like you are using the static option for your textbox, but it is your only way around this if you want that font to show.
