I've also experienced this problem or something very similar. I was given a handful of .fla files for a project a while back. All of these files were authored on a Mac. When we opened them on a PC - many of the text fields looked substantially different. The vertical positioning was off a bit as described here but worse still, the leading between characters was different. It looked fine when opening the same file in Flash on a Mac. The leading appeared much tighter on the PC than on the Mac. If we fixed the leading on the PC then it was too spaced-out on the Mac. If memory serves, we only saw this problem with one of the fonts used in the project. I think it was Rotis. I do not recall its format. I'm curious to go have a look again based on this thread however. Not being able to resolve the issue on the PC - we were left with having to do the final compile on a Mac. -Adrian ________________________________

I really think this is a bug in Flash, since as I've mentioned, I don't have a problem with any other software using these fonts. Oh well, I guess I'm stuck moving the fonts up and down. :-( Thanks, Kevin N.
