Hey guys,

This is a real newbie question but I guess I just never needed to know before… Say I write “Test” with the text tool (static, not dynamic), didn’t break it apart, just left it how I wrote it and made it into a graphic symbol to animate… when I exported the movie, would the user have to have the font on their comp or will it show fine?

Thanks in advance!

Ben
