I’m talking about making user forms with special fonts in flash, and I was thinking… What characters do I need to embed, and what ones can I leave out to keep filesize down?

This isnt exactly an actionscript question, so I put it here.

I’m embedding the alphabet in cap/small and these special characters\> .!:)^_~@#$%&\*(-+=_|/,?;"’

Basically… All visible special characters on the keyboard. Isn’t that all people use?
