nice that the issue was addressed,
anyway many times the same font has different family name on windows
or mac.
they sometimes differ for a space, a dash or other little things.
this prevents the font to be displayed correctly (happened on a
project started on pc and finished by me on mac).
using the <export> tag to export the font to a custom name, you're
able to work things out.
someone might say "I have to use TTF files anyway"
here u're wrong
on mac I was able to use suitcase or bmap fonts and they work fine
(check the xml in my previous post)

hi Dan and Ubi,
I haven't experienced needing to use the export option, but I do have
to name my ttf files the same as my id like this <font id="myfont"
import="resources/myfont.ttf" glyphs="..." />. Weird.
to resolve an issue that came up on the swfmill list, the behaviour
has been changed slightly. swfmill now uses the font family name. the
post includes links to the new sources and to a windows binary:

I've been playing around with all this FAMES thingy, and I LOVE IT.
one thing, though...
importing and "using" fonts was never working
on the official guide you find how to embed fonts using swfmill
http://iterative.org/swfmill/doc/using-swfmill.html#fonts
you find this
<font id="vera" import="library/vera.ttf" glyphs="0123456789"/>
now if you try to create a text field and use the font in a
TextFormat it's
never gonna work.
I couldn't find any info about this, but then I found a post about
"exporting" (linkage) of symbols.
well...
i changed the basic xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<movie width="120" height="240" framerate="21">
<background color="#83bb38"/>
<library>
<font id="embFont" import="assets/04b-11.suit"/>
</library>
</movie>
to this (pay attention to the new <export> tag
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<movie width="120" height="240" framerate="21">
<background color="#83bb38"/>
<library>
<font id="embFont" import="assets/04b-11.suit"/>
</library>
<Export>
<symbols>
<Symbol objectID="1" name="embFont"/>
</symbols>
</Export>
</movie>
so my class now works
and I hope this helps somebody else but me
