Univers 67 Bold Condensed Font does not show in my Flash Fonts List

Hi all,

I am running Flash 2004, and for some reason a specific font I require is not showing up in my fonts list. The font is Univers 67 Condensed Bold.
I have the family of the Univers Fonts, Univers 57 Condensed Bold shows up in the list but 67 does not.

These fonts are individual ttf fonts, I have tried a few different versions of the individual 67 ttf file, but still does not show.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you use it with other software?

If you can't use it with the other software..then the problem is in your 67 ttf file...

try installing another 67 ttf file...

var txt_fmt = new TextFormat();
with(txt_fmt) {

}

yoy Im using a static text box.

The font does not appear on 2 different pcs running flash, but works in photoshop. Probably something to do with the file.

y_o_y

yeah right probably something to do with the file....

is it a long you text?

if it's just a short text then maybe you can just do it in photoshop and then import it in your .fla file....this way you can have your desired textstyle...:)

Sam your a freaking legend, you just saved me a **** load of time looking for answers.
I would have never of thought of trying 47 condensed light, as I thought it would be too skinny, but its just about right on.
Wonder if this applies to other font families, Ill keep that in mind.

How did you come across the solution?
You picked up a client with 180 websites? now thats a nice client, presuming your getting decent bank.

Here 400 points for you, and 50 each to yoy and negatyve

Thanks again,

The adobe font folio has documentation with every font. I found it in the documentation for the font after researching for hours everywhere else.

Here's the doc:
