IMO, having to do it counts as a design failure.

Subject: [Xerte] Re: print questionWhen you make a new rlo, that rlo uses resources.swf in the [xerte] directory in preview, because it doesn’t have its own.If it does have its own resources.swf, that is copied into the [xerte] directory for use when previewing.If the user does not make a resources.swf, when the piece is published, the default empty one is copied to the publish dir.If they have made one, it is left alone when publishing.

Yes, ultimately that's where it needs to be.
If I knew definitively what happened with resources.swf I would do a write-up.

e.g. if resources.swf is in the .rlo directory and you double-click that .rlo to start Xerte, doesn't that resources.swf get copied to the authoring dir?
(But unfortunately not the publishing directory, so you have to do that manually).

Nope, the new resource.swf has to be in the same folder as XMLEngine.swf. From: xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk [mailto:xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk] On Behalf Of KnowledgeWare

For embedded fonts to display, they have to be included in a custom resource.swf.
The new resource.swf has to be in the same directory as the .rlo.” Holy cow….I never woulda figured that out. RonM2
