embedding fonts




[haXe] Embedded fonts in Flash 9 target?

After watching the Helvetica Movie, I'm thinking about fonts a lot, and it's really cool that Flash lets you embed whatever font you like right in the file.

I'm really digging Flash lately, it has a lot of power. It's awesome writing it with haXe, because I get all the goodness of Linux and GPLed code, but still get to write some very powerful display applications.

The language count is going up and up, for my new project I'm going to be writing code in:

haXe
Actionscript 3.0
Flash
swfmill XML
C++
Ruby (on Rails)
MySQL
XHTML/CSS


Sweeeeeet!
