Johanna,
Things to check include:
Is the font that you used when you created the text cast members installed
on the computer with Windows NT? Is it going to be installed on all users'
computers? Is it a standard font that is installed with all versions of
Windows that your users will have?
If any of the above is No, then you need to embed the font that you used in
your Director movie (see "embed font" in Help). Otherwise, the problem may
not be limited to Windows NT: any user of any other version of Windows may
be missing the font that your movie requires. Embedding a font is better
than turning all texts into bitmaps, although if you don't need the
functionality of the text (e.g., you never allow the user to change the
size of the font), then bitmaps may be fine, too.
If this is the problem, then the only alternative to scrapping that 1000
CDs is to tell the users to install the missing font. It may be available
on some Web site for free, or you may be bale to buy a license for
distributing it from your Web site, or in other way (like stick a floppy in
every package
:-).
When you start embedding a font, you may find that there are a few quirks
with the process, but most of them can be overcome.
