Every static glyph for every font face and weight/style is also embedded. The only way to really reduce the size of those fonts is to embed fewer glyphs. One strategy might be to consolidate the number of fonts you are using. If you are using 4 typefaces, try to reduce it to 3 or even 2.

Looking at your swf, my suggestion would be to take the copy that is not input fields and turn them to outlines in Illustrator then put them back in the layout. Flash handles vector really well. Not much size increase for mathematical equations. Then only embed the necessary glyphs for the

No need to outline in Illustrator. In Flash, select the text, go to Modify/Break Apart. Do this twice, and you will have outline of text. On Jun 27, 2012, at 4:42 PM, Karl DeSaulniers wrote: Looking at your swf, my suggestion would be to take the copy that is not input fields and turn them

Just remember if its fonts on top of fonts, break each layer separately and then merge. Otherwise your bottom font may be cropped by the top fonts bounding box. Best, Karl On Jun 27, 2012, at 4:34 PM, Karl DeSaulniers wrote: Ah that's right! Well there you go. Best, Karl On Jun 27,

Hello all. I am trying to optimize a swf and I've picked apart everything. When i run it through some shareware Flash Optimizer program it shows that it's made 70% fonts. Can anyone recommend a better optimizer or something i can do about the fonts. The font size seems high to me for what the

When you embedded the fonts, did you embed the entire font, or just the languages you need? If you embed the whole font, it's going to be big, and you might not need Tibetan or Khmer. Cordially, Kerry Thompson On Tue, Jun 26, 2012 at 4:02 PM, Tristan sunnrun...@gmail.com wrote: Hello all. I

At least one of the fonts seems to have a huge outline - have you generated a size report? You might be better off breaking apart static textfields that use a lot of the font bytes. On 6/26/12 3:59 PM, Tristan sunnrun...@gmail.com wrote: I did not embed any fonts but the numerals and period
