Hi Rui, I'm afraid it's a bit more complex than that when using runtime shared .swfs; loading in clips with fonts embedded into them will not make those fonts available to the other loaded movies.
Search the Flashcoders list archives - there's plenty of threads about loading fonts at runtime. Ian On 8/22/06, Rui Duarte Silva <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Ian, So, that means that no matter which TextField you embed the fonts into, they can be used in every TextField. I suppose this should work over a runtime shared library MovieClip too. Thanks a lot! This font thing almost got me crazy! You're help has been invaluable and I cannot thank you enough.

Then any other textfield set to embedFonts=true - such as the one you want to have multiple fonts in - can use those fonts without a problem.
