I'd agree with Kenneth. If possible, use something like Verdana which definitely includes all the characters you need - not all fonts do.
But, if you really do need to embed the fonts, then you can use a combination of your first two suggestions to acheive what you want. 1) create a font symbol, giving it whatever name you want to use to refer to your font. 2) create a text field on the stage and use that to force Flash to embed whichever characters you want. For different font weights, use more font symbols and text fields. As Kenneth warns, it can very quickly pump up your compiled swf size though. HTH Adrian P.

I would use generic device fonts for dynamic texts. For static texts you don't need to embed fonts at all.
