Re: [flexcoders]Where does my SWF gain it's weight?

You could also restrict the character glyphs in your embedded font to reduce the size taken up by the font. This can be done by specifying the unicodeRange property in CSS: @font-face {   src:url("/embed_assets/fonts/Inconsolata-ani.otf");   font-family: "mycodefont";   unicodeRange: U+0041-U+005

I published similar results on my blog a few years back. The reason it is slower is that there are more byte codes involved and those byte codes take more time. The more you know, and the more information you have handy, the less work there is to do and we can make more assumptions. For "b.id"
