Embedded Fonts

[Lisa Anderson]

I read in an older message that embedded fonts are used for text objects, but not dynamic text objects. (The message said that dynamic text uses fonts from the user's machine.) Is this still true?

If a font is embedded for a regular text object, will it be available for dynamic text also. (I am wondering if this can be used as a workaround.)

Not quite true.
Static text (with embedded font) is rendered, but dynamic text is not !
In case of common fonts (Arial,Courier,Tahoma,Verdana,etc) there is no need to embed anything.
But if you wanna use "strage" fonts for dynamic text ... wait for a future KM release.

To clarify, for static text, all "character glyph" vector data referenced by the static text are stored in the swf. For dynamic text, KoolMoves currently does not embed font data in the swf. Without embedding, by default the swf gets the data from the end user's computer. Embedding swells the size of the swf.
