I took over a Flash project from a PC based group and Fonts were the

major thing that I had to deal with. Those fonts that didn't have

_exactly_ the same name -disappeared- in the SWF file. Basically all the

type had to be re-set in place. :(


I imagine there might be some difficulties with sounds but I didn't deal

with that.
