Flash always exports the shape information of every Font character used

in a Flash movie. That is why the viewer of your Flash movie will always

see the Font you specified. Flash only exports the shapes of the

characters you use in your movie. The only time that this shape

information is not used is if DeviceFont is set and this only works for

Win 95/98/NT. I have not seen any consistant good results that merit

it's use though I have tried it many times. I just say No to Device

Font.
