Ryan,
OK, I understand. I once had a problem similar to yours --- I wanted to embed news article texts (updated minute-by-minute basis) into my swf. Of course I could not predict which glyphs being used in the articles. Additionally I wanted to minimize the size of my swf file. Therefore I wanted to avoid embedding tons of glyphs unused by the articles. The MSGOTHIC font contains, say, nearly 3000 glyphs; I found a news article uses at most 300. I thought I should not embed unused 3000 - 300 = 2700 glyphs. How could I achieve it? --- dynamically perform swf-byte-code engineering on server-side using the swfmill and mtasc ( http://www.mtasc.org/ ) together. I will tell you how my server-side app called "LiveFlip" works: my batch processing is invoked timer-driven; once invoked, my batch gets most recent news articles from the source; my batch enumerates glyphs used in the articles and dynamically generates XML which is passed to swfmill to generate a basement swf which contains sufficient font resources; my batch converts the article into JSON format and let mtasc compile, mtasc dynamically swaps the stub data class byte-code with the JSON-generated concrete one; finally I get a swf file with most recent news article text; The swf is embedded with glyphs used by the articles; glyphs unused by the articles are not embedded in the swf file, Hence the size of the swf becomes minimal. I presume you want the swf on client-side talk to the data resource on the fly; then my story would not help you much. Your swf need to have all the glyphs embedded and inevitably would become large.

I can't predict what characters will be used. That's why I need to embed the whole font. - Ryan On Thu, Mar 13, 2008 at 11:02:09AM +0900, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Ryan, > > I am new to this issue, and have made no progress on it, sorry. > > In fact I use the swfmill heavily for embedding Japanese glyphs from the > large MSGOTHIC font.
