Yes, both -- it /may/ be anything, but /should/ be the font name for clarity's sake. What's missing in the tutorial, because font handling in Swfmill has developed much further since it was written, is that there's also a @name attribute to go with @id. @id is the Swfmill internal name (for textfields created in Swfmill), @name is for AS usage (textfields created by the script). So, try this: <font id="KlingonBlade" name="KlingonBlade" import="KlingonBlade.ttf" /> Note the @name attribute I added. An advantage of this is that you can import multiple font types, like normal, bold, italic etc., and all give them the same @name. When you use a bold style in your textfield, the appropriate font style will be chosen.
