I am a typeface designer and I have just switched to Mac OS X 10.3.5 Panther and Freehand 10.
I used to use Freehand 9 and OS 9. I was happy with that. Now when I test my fonts in FH 10 I see that the built-in kerning in installed typefaces is not recognised. Has anybody else noticed this? or am I doing something wrong.
I always slagged off Powerpoint for being a presentation tool that showed lousy type with no kerning. Surely Macromedia haven't taken a backward step. Is there anything that can be done to rectify this problem?

Thanks in advance for any contributions.

Freehand 10 is a steaming turd. It's perhaps one of the worst programs MM has ever released.

Dump it as soon as you can and upgrade to FH11.
