Folks in China try to embed their entire char set and have the same complaint.

Since you're response didn't start of with "that's weird" I'm assuming this type of behavior is a known edge case and I shouldn't be looking for a bug somewhere. Does anyone else have any creative/outside the box solutions (a way to smooth font instructions to simplify a font, etc)? - Daniel Freiman On Thu, Jul 17, 2008 at 1:42 AM, Alex Harui <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: Trimming out characters you don't need is your only hope, or loading the font "later" if you don't need it right away ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com> [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com> ] On Behalf Of Daniel Freiman Sent: Wednesday, July 16, 2008 12:47 PM To: flexcoders Subject: [flexcoders] Huge File Size w/ Embedded Font I have a a 300k true type font that I want to load into my app via a RSL. When I do the embedding in Flash 8 or 9 to create the RSL, the movie size jumps 1.2 megs. I think the reason for this is that it is a handwriting font and the font characters are incredibly complicated (the "I" takes 280 instructions to render). I've trimmed the included characters down as much as I can. Does anyone else have any suggestions of how to get this size down? Or is there an improvement on the instructions in the docs? Or are there any Flash resources that may be better able to answer this question? - Daniel Freiman
