A common and exceeding annoying problem is where you know a specific font is installed on your system, but flash reports it missing and it does not appear in the flash font list.
joshbuhler.com has come up with a solution to make flash find a font that you’ve installed on your system, and it’s worked for me. I have PC, but it should work for both PC’s and Mac’s:
I honestly don’t know why this happens, because it doesn’t always happen. Just when I seem to have a deadline coming up. I think it may have something to do with the OSX Font Cache. Anyways, I think I may have found a solution, or at least something you can try if you’re having the same issue. I’ve used this on both Macs I use, and it seems to work pretty good.
- Close Flash.
- Open your font manager, then disable the font, and close the font manager app.
- Launch Flash while the fonts are disabled, then close it. Note you don’t have to open the .fla file.
- Open the font manager, re-enable/re-install the font, and close it.
- Launch Flash one more time, and then that font should now be available.
P.S. Inexplicably, out the blue, Flash CS3 may suddenly report that it can’t find a font that it just used a day before. If this happens, just go though the above procedure again.
