hi again..
those who said "it works for me", by it works, do you mean that you see
a weird font?
this is the font I expect to see
but this is what I get...
I really don't get it.
I'm running swfmill from vista, XP, y ubuntu, and I get the same thing :S
I paste my **really** simple code here to see if any of you find any
error but I can't see it :(
<movie width="320" height="240" framerate="12">
<background color="#ffffff"/>
<font id="jettat" name="jettat" import="jettat.ttf" />
<textfield id="hellobox" width="200" height="50" size="20"
font="jettat" text="HELLO world!"/>
<place id="hellobox" name="output" depth="10"/>
<frame/>
</movie>
thanks again
