Hi all,  
I was wondering how I would embed a certain font, that I have on my mac, into my movie so that someone viewing it from a pc will see that same font, regardless of whether they have it installed on there system?

thanks, LOTW 🙂

Try converting them to lines and fills by breaking the text apart, they will then be converted to symbols and can no longer be edited as text. hope this helps…JesseH
