Has the OP been able to resolve this issue? We're running into the same issue here - Flash isn't reading the OpenType font metadata consistently across windows and Mac. I've partially resolved the issue by actually editing the fonts themselves so that their stylenames match their postscript style names (eg: MyriadPro-Bold instead of Myriad Pro, Bold; and MyriadPro-Semibold instead of MyriadPro Light, Bold). So the bug is either with the old Macromedia products or with the Adobe OT font, since AI and the rest of CS3 doesn't have this problem. Obviously it's not practical to create custom versions of all your OT fonts, especially when they're touted as being "the" cross-platform solution. Looks like a Flash issue after all, folks. Your workarounds welcome. Tom
