Probably someday you’ll need to embed your own fonts to a project because you don’t want to use the usual secure fonts ( Arial, Verdana, etc… ). You may know that when you embed a font to your project the swf size will be increased with the size of the whole font. To avoid the increase of the file you can use only the unicode range of the characters you need and you can find a wonderful amount information on the Lee Brimelow’s http://www.gotoandlearn.com website.
