Cool beans. I've tested since writing and found that the TrueType fonts I need at the moment seem to work fine.
Also discovered that previous "problems" I had with TrueType fonts were actually "code page issues" as you
describe them.
What's happening on OS X with support for most available fonts in most available languages? How do they do that? Are they using Unicode...
is it a benefit of using the PDF technology for display? How do they work it so you can switch easily between various
localizations on the same machine? Little OT, I admit (sorry Tab!) - but may directly influence the Lingo wrangling I do
on these next few projects - and how I address these kinds of issues cross-platform.
Thanks again,
J

Yes, TrueType fonts work in Director. Most of 'em, at least--you might have problems with something like Cyrillic or Greek, but that's a code page issue, not TrueType per se.
