    Not really my field but afaik, PC uses the font raster graphic (the outline for a specific pixel render) and the glyphs (the scalable part) in the same file (TT). PS or T1 fonts have the raster graphic separated from the glyph coords. So although PS or T1 fonts can be used in PC you can't incorporate the glyphs in production files but only the raster image. My guess is that it works in Flash when the PC screen is exactly the same size the Mac screen, but the type disappears when scaled into other resolutions.

    I'm making this up.
