If you then load the swf with the fonts ito your main movie, you will find that 
the fonts are only available to textfields in the loaded movie, not the main 
movie that loads it. To get around that, you have to do some voodoo. From 
memory, you need to create at least one textfield in the main movie that uses 
one of the fonts in the loaded movie, and link to that file when you embed the 
font. If you don't want to keep rebuilding your main swf, then you need to keep 
the filename of the linked swf the same each time, or the main movie won't load 
because it can't find the linked file. (Plesae correct me if I'm wrong - it's 
from memory and it's late...)
 
I do that and can use all the fonts in resources.swf from my engine.swf. I have 
a script that builds resources swf for each piece that uses the engine. I've 
wanted to do this for ages, but only recently found the answer.
 
www.nottingham.ac.uk/xerte is the project. It's an authoring tool for rich 
interactive elearning. It's very similar to Flex, but was born whilst flex was 
still in its infacy and prohibitively expensive. I use it for all my work.

I think Julian is right, but swfmill makes it a lot easier:

        Can't be done. You have to build the font into a library, maybe using 
swfmill as part of your build process. I'd love to be corrected,

        Does anybody has an ideia of how to load external fonts in ttf? or 
something else instead of shared libraries?
        
        thank you very much,
