The same way as in any other program before publishing the

swf, the fonts come from the local machine. When the swf is

created the vector outlines of the fonts used are included

in the swf.

This mainly a problem when transfering .fla (unpublished

flash files), _not_ swfs-unless you have used fields w/o

including the outlines of the fonts. For maintaining fonts

in .flas, simply install the fonts on both (or all) the

machines you are working on. The fonts in the published swf

(being the vector outlines of the letters used) will look

the same anywhere.
