    Installed Fonts but not showing up in dropdown

    I'm on a MAC working with Flash 8 and I installed a font on my machine rebooted flash and the Mac and I can't see the font in my drop down... I have enabled in font book and everything, it works in Photoshop but not in Flash! It's and open type format (.otf).

    Has anyone ever had this problem? Thanks in advance!

    It probably means the font has the bitmap face, but not the outline face of the font.
    Fonts have to have an outline to be usable in Flash, but will work in things like photoshop without the outline.
