Hi Adrian,

Did this ever get worked out?

And by any chance did you publish your swf font to Flash 8? I seem to 
remember the docs saying Flex uses Flash 8 for swf fonts. I'll have to 
look that up to be sure if that's a requirement though.


Oh and Flex can only transcode TTF files so yeah, OTF files are out.

Hi, Adrian.

I had a terrible time with this a few months back, but finally got it
all figured out.

If you can post exactly what you're including in your FLA (that's the
way I ended up doing it), and exactly what you're including in your
font declarations, I think I can help you get this cleared up pretty
quickly.
