Hi,  
I’m having trouble printing Japanese text.  
I’m using embedded fonts with style-sheet, and everything works fine (on screen), but when spooling a large body of text to printer, the file is very heavy and the system (sometimes) freezes. I’m printing text only (no other graphic objects).

Does anyone has any idea on how to reduce the weight of embedded fonts sent to printer (even at the price of lower quality)?

Have tried posting on [actionscript.org](http://actionscript.org) but of no avail ☹

Thanks.
