A problem with it that's worth mentioning, however, is that your font library swf is only external in the authoring stage. When compiling, the font library swf embeds in with your main swf. When this happens, several of the benefits of even having a font library disappear such as: 1. Authoring time-saving: Saving time on compiles so that you're not compiling the font as well every time you compile. 2. Runtime time-saving: Only loading a font when needed reduces initial load time on your main swf, and obviously means your font won't be loaded at all if not needed. Interesting technique.

I was wondering if someone knows how to include all possible english characters. The gotoAndLearn tutorial only shows embedding A-Z. Hi, the tutorial worked fine. thanks.
