I never realize they had changed that until I read you post and tried it myself. Huh? Why’d they do that? Anyway if you do to the TYPE pulldown menu and select Type on a path/Type on a path options. Check the FLIP box and that does the trick.
I heard that you can upload a lot of free software from http://www.limewire.com but I don’t know about fonts. I’ve never tried it but I hear it works a bit like napster use to except anything can be shared.
