Are you planning to convert existing PSD's to FW? The best suggestion is
to build the files in FW to begin with if possible. Bear in mind that at
this time, FW will rasterize your PS vectors anyway. As for text layers
being scattered about, I have not had this problem but also at this
time, PS and FW handle text differently. There was not enough time to
get the Adobe font engine working in a stable manner for CS3, but I am
sure this will be addressed in future releases.
If you're doing a lot of vector work and prefer not to start in FW, do
it in Illustrator. FW has much better support for AI vectors than PS
vector shapes.
