Anyone have any luck resolving this issue? I have been struggling with exactly the same problem in Flare 4 for direct to PDF output. I'm using Times New Roman and Arial (purely out of desperation) and the character spacing in the PDF output is ugly as all get-out. I've spent hours and hours (which m...

I've got a number of Type 1 fonts installed in the Windows Fonts folder on my XP laptop and my Vista desktop computer. Word can find them, PowerPoint can find them. Capture can't find them, and I just confirmed that Flare can't either. So is this a bug, or am I not understanding something, or does C...

Forgive me if I am about to ask a naive question... So I'm taking a serious look at (finally) using Capture for screen images with callouts.

Thanks, Kevin, for the speedy reply (as usual!). I don't know a thing about how to use Camtasia myself, and I wouldn't expect to do any of the development of movies myself. The client already has the library of movies, and I just want to feel confident that they could somehow be married with Help sy...

Morning, all... I have a client that makes a range of software-controlled hardware products, all of which share much functionality, but each of which has unique features. The product line requires documentation for a range of audiences from "guys with wrenches" to system integrators to ent...
