I'm not sure. The engineer who did the font embedding for Falcon left Adobe 
recently.

We felt that the compiler shouldn't be doing font embedding because it is 
inefficient to transcode the font more than once.

No, that's the way Apache Flex distributes MXMLC today.  Everything compiles 
and runs, but embedding doesn't work if you haven't gone out separately and 
downloaded the Adobe font jars.

I'm just wondering if how hard it would be to re-purpose some of that code from 
MXMLC into Falcon.
