Hi everyone,

I have read the Kirupa article on FFF fonts, but it doesnt seem to help me.

Im using a font for my navigation that the user won’t have. Now, this font is used within buttons also, how do I embed the font for the whole movie? Do I need to select the text every time it is used and specify the ranges? Because that doesnt make much sense…

Is there not a way to specify the ranges of the font for the whole movie, using the autofill function?

One thing I can say: embedding fonts is confusing! Is there not a way for me to view my movie as if I dont have the font on my system? So I then could atleast know if its working or not!
