Using fonts that are not on c:\windows\fonts

[Douglas]

is it possible to use fonts that exist not on the PC but on the web
server and get flash to load them from the web server

I want to create a small app to let the user choose a font (non
standard) and view some text they type in their chosen font and
possibly alter the size etc etc

Possible???

TIA

Douglas

> Possible???
Sure is.

The downside is bandwidth.

I've had a discussion about that lately:

You have to embed the fonts. On this webpage (at the bottom) you'll find
a short explanation and a screenshot telling you how to do it:

Here is how you can dynamically load the movies:
