It's a significant bug. I reported it to the appropriate folks. Thanks for pointing out this problem.

This may not get fixed any time soon, but perhaps we can at least get it to reject non-ASCII characters instead of scrambling them.

Well, no information is better than wrong information. But perhaps adding a note to the effect that the selected font does (or may) include additional characters.

It's sad to see how unresponsive the Adobe bureaucracy has become on so many levels. I can only imagine how frustrated Adobe staff is. You have my full sympathy, T.

This isn't really a bureaucracy problem. The person who did the online preview software isn't at Adobe any more, and nobody else has had to do more than very minor maintenance on it since....

Cheers,

Then Adobe might consider acquiring my fonts.com for the preview technology, the way they acquired Macromedia just for Flash. :D



(Did you know that Flash effectively turns all images with an embedded color profile into untagged files? :( )

Here's a thread discussing this, which includes a link to a much longer thread on the Adobe Photoshop Macintosh forum:
