    I may be wrong but, as far as I know, Flash uses any fonts which are installed on your computer. Flash will save the actual shapes of the fonts in it's files so that they are not dependant on whether a user has a particular font or not.

    I usually get fonts from: http://www.mediabuilder.com/fontlibrary.html

    On a Windoze computer, just unzip these downloads and pop them into C:/WinXX/Fonts/

    flashkit will soon have its own font library but for now flashkit provides links to a number of good commercial and freeware font sites here....

    Flash will only embed TRUETYPE fonts! So beware if you are using Type1 - they will work in author mode, but not in the final movie..
