So I’m using the Flex SDK 2 in combination with Flash Develop 3 Beta and all is good (actually FD3 is great if you haven’t checked it out then do so). I need to embed some fonts but I only need a small range a-z A-Z 1-9 so I’m trying to get the mxmlc.exe compiler option

[SIZE=-1]-compiler. **fonts**.languages.language- **range** \<lang\> \< **range** \>

e.g.

[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]-compiler. **fonts**.languages.language- **range** englishRange [/SIZE][SIZE=-1]U+0041-U+007E[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]

and also adding the following to flex-config.xml

\<languages\>  
\<language-range\>  
\<lang\>englishRange\</lang\>  
\<range\>U+0041-U+007E\</range\>  
\</language-range\>  
\</languages\>

but nothing seems to affect the size of my SWF.

Anybody got this working?
