Flash: Some characters could not be converted to outlines… August 23, 2008

Wierd, ran into this trying to track down another problem with Flash.  I reinstalled from the Web Premium DVD  just Flash CS3, which took like 45 minutes (WTF?!), booting up flash, opened a file tried publishing and got that error...and none of the fonts (just myriad pro) showed up anymore.

Restarting the machine fixed it.
