I have made an animation using a lot of text and it looks fine on my Mac, but when I test it on a Windows system it looks awful. I thought that you would get what you see on any platform using Flash, but apparently not.

I have used the font “Plantagenet Cherokee” which I don’t think is a standard font in Windows. I have tried to embed the font in the library, but it doesn’t seem to work…

Is there any way I can make it work in Windows without starting over?

Any help would be greatly appreciated… Thank you 🙂
