Re: FLASH: The real deal with fonts in flash??

[Cheri Harder]

Hi, brody


In the authoring environment, it is true that if you are opening the FLA in

a machine that doesn't have the font you originally used, it will use a

substitue font.  But the end-user (viewer of the SWF) does not need the font

to view it to my best knowledge.  Was your experience with the SWF or the

FLA?
