If you have a font that nobody else has on their device, then “use device fonts” is the opposite of what you want to do 😉

In the properties inspector for the text box, select Embed then chose the appropriate glyph sets for the font. The size of the embedded fonts will add up very vast however.

Because he actually posted it in the Flash 8 section 😉

Or because I just made an \*\*\* of myself since I now see that the thread was moved here from the MX04 forum - pick one 😉
