that in a while) since this problem doesn't exist in other programs
(like adobe's). So I really think this is a bug in the framework,

employ workarounds).
I'm also pretty sure that this happens with PostScript outline
fonts (OpenType can contain either TrueType or PostScript
outlines), but I'll keep a closer eye on that, and let you know if
I find something out that differs from this description. Also, the
fonts that I've converted with CrossFont have all always been Mac
PostScript fonts. I originally thought this was a problem with
CrossFont, but have since learne
AFAIK, all font handling in MM apps on the Mac has remained 100%
borked (that means: as in MacOS 7) since Flash MX hit the streets. I
doubt any MM product properly supports OTF, and I am pretty sure all
of them have broken Unicode font support.
