Hmm...
Putting this tidbit together with what the Director tech note said and
the fact that only TrueType fonts show up as embeddable in Director
suggests that PostScript fonts don't have outlines, and I know that's
not the case.
Either there's more to this 'recordable outline' business than that OR
it's just an obscure way of saying "we don't support embedding
PostScript fonts in Director"
Is it possible to make a PostScript font with a 'recordable outline'?
While this's all very interesting, my real question is still:
"What do I have to do to get Director to pick up my edited bitmap fonts
that go with my TrueType font?"
Please pardon/understand my crankiness, I've got pressure from my client
to do something that the documentation says I can do, but it's not
working and nobody seems able to help me do it or explain to my client
why I can't.
