Hi

I recently bought a font, but it is in OTF format, and flex2 can not read that only trueType.  
But I guess that there is some way i can embed them in Flash mx 2004 and then embed the SWF in flex… But how is this done? Please do a step by step guide for embedding them in mx 2004, and write the as3 code, because i found some on the net but they does not seem to work.

Thanks in advance
