How do I embed a font for multi MCs?

Hi there, I am having problems embedding fonts and wondered if you guys could help me to do this properly. I

am not sure if my font needs to be embedded for every text box or if there is a way I can embed the font once for a whole swf?

I am using about 5 swfs, do I need to embed the font fro each one or is there a way

If I can embed all of the characters I need once per swf, where is the best place to do this?

Any help much appreciated, I keep seeing Times New Roman when I look at my work on my PC and it is nasty.

Cheers!
