I'm using Flash CS5.5, working with some graphics and using some classic textfields. But, one day I opened the fla and all the embedded textfields were blank. I changed it to other fonts and worked perfectly, but not the font I was using (Myriad Pro). It only works if I choose "Use device fonts". So, does it has to do with some cache or something? I've erased all the fonts, rebooted my computer, and again the same problem.

It's not a scripting problem, may be a bug in flash?

UPDATE: In fact none of the OpenType CFF are working in my Flash. How can I restore these fonts?

UPDATE 2: Does it has to do with the Windows XP updates of 13/12/12? Someone has another SO with the same problem?

  • I'm having the exact same problem. Some fonts work and some don't. It just started happening yesterday. If I change the text fields to TLF, they show up, but that's not an ideal solution. – elmonty Dec 14 '12 at 16:56
  • Actually I had to convert all the OpenType CFF to TTF, now I can continue working, but that's not a solution. – Antipirina Dec 14 '12 at 17:07
  • Great minds think alike. That's exactly what I did. I think that's going to be the best solution. We're using Windows 7 and we suspect there was a Windows update yesterday that caused this. – elmonty Dec 14 '12 at 17:44

I'm having the same problem with CS5 in Win7. And I also got a Windows update last night.

Okay, I've tried it and can confirm that uninstalling KB2753842 fixes the problem for me.
