Hi, I have to embed fonts into my application. I have .swf font files. I have to use these swf files as an array in a combo box, so that the user can select the font. Once he selects that font I have to use the selected swf(ex Arial.swf) file in an xml element as value. I specifically dont use the emded fonts to display any component in my app. But the xml file is used by a chart flex component to display the chart. In the xml file I have to specify the font file name and the path where it is found. I tried using @font face. But when I try to use the .swf in the dropdown, and specify the path to it in the xml file, I get an IO error. I am not sure if the font.swf files are getting loaded or how should I approach resolving this issue.
