Okay so first off I’d like to say I’m new here and whatnot. The other day I downloaded a font from [dafont.com](http://dafont.com) to use in a flash movie (I always download them from that website so I know it’s safe.) However, yesterday, when I put the font into my movie, and when I tested it, the movie lagged when it reached the point containing the font. It only lags the first time I test it, eg. if I let it loop, it wouldn’t lag the second time. I have to reopen flash for it to lag again. I simply replaced the font and it stopped thanks god. Today though, I downloaded a different one, and it did the same thing. ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/3383/cad202393927512d.gif) The .fla file is huge, like 5mbs or so, and it doesn’t do this with any of the other fonts. The one I did was a truetype file. I tried changing the text to dynamic, which solved the problem, but the quality is awful. If I export the movie, it will also do this. ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/4684/3090620a3b378922.gif) But if I upload it to a site such as [spamtheweb.com](http://spamtheweb.com) or swfcabin, it will not do it. ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/1105/8ed432c9025fd9ca.gif) and way I can solve this problem? I usually run Flash with Firefox open, but I tried closing like everything else and it still occurs. ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/5305/70f532de0642d4f9.gif)
