Unfortunately, we don't support embedding TTF like that. (I wish I could have added it, but fonts are a bit funky in Flash.) We only support specifying the font details through stylesheets. So, I think that if you were to make a dummy component with a style sheet that embeds the font you want, and then put that component into your RSL, you should be in good shape. (There's a possibility it still won't work, though. I'm not positive it will handle the RSL'ed font case correctly, becuase there is a list of "embedded fonts" codegenned into the main app to get around the issue that the player doesn't provide a query API for finding out what fonts were included. If it doesn't work, post back to the list, and I will give you the magic code to put in your app to fool it. You might be able to figure it out on your own; its an array up on _global or _root or something. Patch in your font name early (initialize? creationComplete? Maybe even in a preloader?) and you should be in good shape.) -Roger Roger Gonzalez mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!
