Hi there

I was having missing fonts in Flash CS4, so I cleaned the font caches using the following commands in Terminal:

sudo atsutil databases -remove
atsutil server -shutdown
atsutil server -ping

These commands ran fine, so I restarted and opened my Flash file. Now suddenly Verdana is missing in Flash which was previously there.

I ran FontNuke, and cleaned caches, and rebooted. Still nothing showed in Flash.
I ran Cocktail, and cleaned just the font caches (all users on system), still nothing in Flash.
I reinstalled Flash (didn't work)
I then uninstalled Flash, rebooted and installed Flash, rebooted. (didn't work)

After all this, Verdana still doesn't load in Flash. I validated all fonts in Font Book and removed the erroneous fonts.

Is there any other way I can have all the fonts load in Flash (eliminate another cache I am not seeing)? I am so sick of Flash and its font caches and Verdana is pretty much a standard font so what am I doing wrong here?

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
I've been looking for a solution to this for years, but nothing is conclusively documented. There are many Shoutcast Flash players out there (e.g. radio.de) so I know it's possible. However, most of my research leads to this: s = new Sound(); s.loadSound ("url.of.shoutcaststream:8003",true); Which… >>> More
