Hi,

When I installed Flash MX on my Windows98 SE machine, everything worked fine. It was showing all the fonts installed in my machine when I click on the Text Control.

But now nothing seems to work. It only shows 3 fonts something like (\_serif, \_sans…)

All my previous works which had extensive text in it has become, I might say, ODD, as it is not accepting the fonts.

For new flash works what I do is edit the registry key:

HKEY\_CURRENT\_USER - Software - Macromedia - Flash6 - TextFontPanel = Font Name

I change the value of the Font Name to whatever Font I want and open Flash, then it starts with the font.

What might be the problem?

Thanking you.
