Rysolag, have you tried searching? All you need to do is type the charcters within a dynamic text field\> go to the bottom properties window \> select “Characters” \> select “All Characters” and you done. You might hate it when people like me tell you to search but it is much easier and quicker to get answers. I for one cant answer your question at the rate you wanted to to be answered since i live in a different time zone.

Most probably u’ve installed the fonts in your machine in a wrong way. That is you just drag and drop fonts int he windows /fonts folder. But the postscript fonts and tru type fonts needs adobe type manager (ATM) to work perfectly. U can donwload that from [www.adobe.com/products/atmlight/download.html](http://www.adobe.com/products/atmlight/download.html) …check the documentation in the same for installation of fonts…

ill look into that…but the font i want to use was included with my computer or photoshop; i never installed it in anyway myself. also this is for flash not photoshop just incase we’re mixed up. more opinions are welcome.
