edit update: ok, bad title. What I mean is, I cannot get some fontbook fonts working, even though I have them installed. I’m sure if I dug enough online I’d get to the bottom of my problem, haven’t had the time though. if you help, thanks!

Rats, this is very aggravating. I need to finish a project ASAP, I was given a flash project file that needs fonts that I have just installed, to fix the problem of fonts not being found. I’ve quit out of and restarted Flash and Fontbook and only 1 of the 4 previously missing fonts is being recognized. I don’t know what else to do right now. Why is this happening?? I also notice that Microsoft Word won’t recongize some of these fonts either. I have a Mac.

They are:

\>Semplice Regular  
\>Vladimir Script  
\>standard 07\_65

\>standard 07\_53 was also missing but when I plugged it into fontbook, it was recognized by Flash, unlike the above 3.

Hmm now I’m wondering if it’s a pc/mac compatibility issue. Any guesses anyone? aaagh. what an annoying and uninteresting problem this is.
