Q: Not recognizing spacing

I've using Live Type for the past week without issue, but a problem has just popped up. When I attempt to use any of the Live Type typefaces, spacing isn't recognized. I can press the space bar 5... 10... 20 times and nothing happens. However, if I use any system typeface the issue doesn't occur.

Anyone know what may be causing this issue? Thanks!

    I'm using Gust and Freehand to simulate writing - is there any tutorial or direction from Apple, if they are suggesting replacing LiveType with Motion, on how to accomplish the same things in that program?

    I've used Motion for a lot of effects, but for quick titles and simple text animations, LiveType is far easier to work with.

    Thanks,
    Matt

    Upgraded to 10.6.6 & ran into this issue of Livetype spaces not being recognized.
    Its just amazing to me that Apple will drop support for software like this after claiming they are a professional solution for video editing.
    Yeah, I want to make my periods "invisible" from now on...
    I guess they just want to sell phones.

    Questionable business ethics: A company stops supporting a product they make then they silently break it?
    Thankfully I have an older, un-updated Mac sitting around I can use, it's just a pain to have to use a separate computer.
    I recently started having problems with DVDSP importing images too, that a sign they're phasing that out too? (only half joking here)

    I too am very sad, I created a user identity just so I can voice my frustration for not being able to provide a simple space for the Livetype fonts. Livetype was an easy to use software to get good, quick titles. I hope those at Apple when taking time to consult together, think of the implications of their decisions.
