I have a very large Flash file that has lots of symbols and instances of fonts. I wish to find all the instances of a font (or any font), as I suspect I can greatly reduce the number of fonts required by my project if I am able to find each use and remove the ones I don’t need any more. With such a large project, it would be very time consuming to manually search for these font instances. Some of them may be on hidden guide layers that I could easily delete. Is there a way to quickly find font instances no matter where they are in the library? Thanks!
