No... In fact it seems to fail entirely if you turn on Render Text as Html for the text field. I'll have to research this more another day.

Taking this back to the original point, did you ever get one font embedded that has plain, bold, italic & bold italic symbols so if you have a html text field with all of those styles inside it will display correctly? I have never managed to do this & would like to know if its possible. I have no trouble using shared assets movie clips, fonts, sounds etc its just this one last thing that would make me very happy.

If you want to do run-time embed rather than author-time embed, you follow the exact same procedure, except that the linkage for your font library would be "Export for runtime sharing" instead of "Export for ActionScript". I tried it with a really complex font called "JokerMan" and my resulting filesizes were 44KB for fontLibrary.swf and just 124 bytes for fontTest.swf (the consuming swf). -tom -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Danny Kodicek Sent: Friday, June 02, 2006 12:07 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Font symbols and bold/italic (cont.) > > I hope that I don't insult your intelligence by referring you to a > TechNote. > But, by following the steps as shown at > http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14786 I was > able > to use a shared font successfully in Flash 8.

Okay, this works, thanks for that. But it makes no sense to me. The two files are both about 20k, so they can't contain the font outlines. So in what sense is this font embedded? As far as I can see, what this is doing is linking to a font named Arial, but someone without Arial on their system won't see it. (it does have the advantage that if I want to globally change the font, I just do it in one place, but that's all). So how can I embed the actual font outlines in the way I do for a local font? Oh - and incidentally why the hell do I have to select 'export for actionScript' instead of 'export for runtime sharing'?!
