Err.. Das ist ein Megaerfolg, Jason! ;o)

First mistake:

Nil points ( and no dosh ) for forwarding your message to me,
personally, as an unmarked Off-List, rather than sending it to
the list address!!

As you can see, I've taken the trouble of forwarding it.

Second mistake:

Incidentally, I not only need convincing, I happen to believe you are incorrect 
in your assumption  );o)

Third mistake:

Ich bin abgebrannt!!

und se weite, und se weite... ;o)

You're using the wrong font?  Just because the font name matches the

that the fonts store swftools is point to contains the correct font.
Try downloading a different version of the font.

paypal please :)
