For me, that's the way a straight use of font2swf dishes them out, namely
width: 1024.00, and height: 768.00 at SWF Version 8.  One long horizontal
line of all the characters in the font.  Select a character and a larger
preview of that individual character chosen is displayed underneath the
line.

Use of swfcombine with -F to change the SWF version produces no appreciable
difference, i.e. same file format, same file size, same width and height.
The addition of the FileAttributes Tag doesn't add much overhead, after
all.

The ONLY change I *have* noticed, is when stating -F 10. With certain fonts
I get the AS3 bit set inside the FileAttributes Tag, with others that simply
doesn't happen.  There's the puzzlement.  One for which a gander at the old
source code might provide an answer.

As to what you are doing to your fonts?  Pass!! ;o)

I'd have to look a lot closer at the byte code of the grunge font you sent
back to me.  Definitely different to that which I sent to you!  Why, as I've 
already said, I'm not sure.  Needs a keener eye maybe.

As far as I can tell, it is merely a matter of setting the AS3 bit on the
file. There appears to be no AS2/AS3 code in there whatsoever.

If you didn't have it, how would you display them?  Besides, it's just a
simple conversion to SWF so as you can use the font characters in whatever
swf you need them.
