Re: Embedded fonts

[Phil Gross]

 I think you need to be careful doing this. IIRC, if you open the font 
cast member again, Director tosses the name you previously gave it and 
sets it back to the original font name followed by the *. Leaving your 
text using a non-existant font (missing). The safest thing to do is 
accept the default name (the one with the *).

Director might be confused as to which font to use--the font on the
system or the embedded font.
There's nothing special about the asterisk, or its location. In fact, I
usually change the embedded font to put the asterisk in front, i.e.
"Times New Roman *" I would change to "* Times New Roman". That way your
embedded fonts show up at the top of the font list. A little trick I
learned from Terry Schussler (anybody remember him?)
Cordially,

AFAIKm the * in the font name when you import is how you identify it
   

as
 

the imported font, so when you go to choose the font for a particular
member, if you choose the version with the * in the name, you are
choosing the imported one, so it should be used even on systems that
don't have it. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on this plz.

I am using a font (univers) that I need to embed into a project that I
am
doing. I went to Insert-->Media Elements-->Fonts. I selected the font
that I
needed and deleted the "*" from the font name. When I went back to my
stage,
all the fonts are now a different face
