Hi can anyone advise on the following with regards to font changes when
importing into flash.

When importing designs from the graphic designers i work with, flash changes
all sorts of properties on the font (e.g. kerning, sizes, weights). Whether
this be by import, or cut and pasting in (e.g. say from fireworks or photoshop).

Granted sometimes they use pretty complex font type (i.e. a light or extended
variation) but this still happens on some fonts already installed on my PC.

Is this just a MAC-PC issue or something more to do with the application.
NOTE : strange thing is fireworks picks up the font as intended and doesnt
change anything.

Can anyone firstly advise me as to the best way to combat these errors -
remember im not a graphics or font expert.
(PLEASE DONT SAY RASTERIZE THE TEXT OR FLATTEN OR BREAK APART)

and

Secondly due to my curiosity try and explain why it happens (i.e. in flash but
not fireworks)
