This is kind of a workaround...but...if your designer is that particular about his fonts...this might be a horrible idea.

For the Photoshop file you can ask him to rasterize his text and resend it to you. It will lose the benefits of perfect vector line art though. I think you could rasterize it too, but would be stuck with screen resolution. I'm not sure about CS.

For the Flash File, you could ask him to send the original swf file. Then you could view it and KNOW what it is supposed to look like. Then you could try to match as close as you can with the fonts you have.

Not exactly an elegant solution. It all depends on how picky your client is. By the way, if they are that picky, why didn't they provide you with the correct font files? If they bought the originals, they would have a better chance of knowing what the matching Windows files would be. Plus, some font packages come with both. (But that might be a modern day bonus. I'm relatively new and don't know all the pills and ills designers have gone through down the ages.)

Good Luck.
