You can then load in that font SWF and get out the fonts to use them. This drastically reduces the filesize of the original SWF. Hope this helps you!

I've stuck to embedding using src='****.ttf' - and am looking at the various fonts there are.I'm looking for a lightweight version of arial/verdana/tahoma that won't bulk up the filesize too much. Can anyone recommend any such? tia So I’ve finally got this to work (after much gnashing of teeth) and obviously, as you say, I’m running into the SWF file size being way too big.
