I'm creating my textFields at runtime. Of course, that entails
code such as:
this.createTextField("lorem_txt", 20, 0, 20, Stage.width, 0);
lorem_txt.embedFonts = true;
But there's no "embed characters" property. Any thoughts? You
think, maybe, I could pull it off using the styleSheet.transform()
method? I don't understand what "the mapping of CSS rules to text
format properties" means.
Why (he asks rhetorically) is displaying these characters in Flash
an Issue at all? Textpad is about as basic a text-display device
as there is, and Textpad displays them quite routinely, and has
for years.

textField?
I believe you're talking about "curly quotes" and yes you can
include them BUT you have to embed them specifically by copying
and pasting them into the embed characters field on the TextField
in Flash as they're not included in the basic glyph set.
Also, you have to make sure the font you're using has those curly
quotes.

I've never dealt too carefully with the appearance of text. As a
developer, that was always the designer's problem. Fortunately,
I've always worked with designers who accommodated my - and
Flash's - limitations, and let me import .txt files and re-
create their formatting as best I could using TextFormat objects.
Now, I'm importing poems from Word .docx files. The poet has
used slanted quotes and apostrophes. He's mighty picky about the
appearance of his work. I'll point out that I'm already passing
the txt through a routine that strips the carriage-returns,
leaving only the linefeeds, so that I get proper line
distribution. I can substitute normal ascii vertical quotes,
etc, but he likes the way it looks as he did it. Short of making
jpgs of his pages (and there are 1000 of them), can I display
them as he wishes? Any help will be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks,
