Fonts deactivated using font management applications still appear in the Font menu

Issue


After deactivating fonts using a font manager such as Font Book, Macromedia Flash 8 may still show the fonts in the Font menu. Although deactivated fonts appear in the Flash font menu, they cannot be used.

This also keeps Flash from running at optimum performance.

Reason


Flash does not register the updated font list while a font management application is running.

Solution
