I’ve noticed something, and I’m not sure if it is a bug or what.  
I added a font into a shared.swf that is loaded in my \_root movie.  
This font is used in all the text on the site, so by embedding it in a shared.swf it saved a ton of time.

I set up linkage on the font.  
X export on first frame  
X export for AS  
X export for runtime sharing

So anyway, it works… to a point.  
It seems that shared fonts break any HTML tags.  
This sort of blows, because it kills my CSS formatting.

What is this?? A bug or am I overlooking something.  
I’m in MX04 on a Mac.
