There are numerous flash decompilers for that evil and ubiquitous
operating system named after a hole in a wall. :) Since I'm at work I
used one of them.
In gentoo, there is the swftools package which has some
analysis/conversion tools. "swfdump -F file.swf" shows font
information and confirms what I saw in the decompiler. For the music
theory SWF file (which is actually called from another wrapper SWF),
we see this among other data:
[030] 15 DEFINEFONT2 defines id 0016
ID: 16
Version: 2
name: _sans
characters: 0
hightest mapped unicode value: 256
style: 0
encoding: 00
language: 00
Fonts can be embedded in Flash files, although in this case they are
not doing that, and instead using the font "_sans", which is a special
generic font family that's supposed to exist and work on all
devices... although that's apparently not the case. :)
