A client has sent me a Flash CS3 website template she was working on. I’m supposed to do some work on it. When I load it, it displays incorrectly. The body type appears incorrectly. It’s different then what it appears on her computer. Causing all the body text to overlap each other.

She has Windows Vista with Flash CS3. I’m using Windows XP Professional with Flash CS4.

When I open the file, it says that ‘tahoma’ font is missing on my computer. And asks me to select a replacement. Obviously, I have Tahoma on my computer — everyone does. I even got her to send her version of Tahoma to me from her Windows Font Folder. When I tried to install it, it says “font already installed”. So, I pointed it to my Tahoma font as a replacement. This could be the problem. But why does it not recognize my version of tahoma?
Anyone know what’s going on, or how I can fix it? I’m supposed to be working on this website, but can’t proceed because I might be wasting time if it doesn’t match up.
Have you tried embedding the fonts when exporting the .swf? I don’t know if it’ll fix the positioning issues, but it’ll fix the text appearance.
