Which statements about device fonts are true?

B. device fonts are NOT embedded in the Flash SWF file
C. device fonts cannot be masked by using a mask layer on the Stage
D. device fonts can only be used with static horizontal text and input text
E. using device fonts results in a somewhat smaller SWF file then all of the
other font options

A device font is like using the html <font face="arial"> tag. It pulls the font from the users computer files. So I would say these are true:


B. device fonts are NOT embedded in the Flash SWF file
E. using device fonts results in a somewhat smaller SWF file then all of the
other font options

For static horizontal text only, you can use special fonts in Flash called device fonts as an alternative to exporting font outline information. Device fonts are not embedded in the Flash SWF file. Instead, Flash Player uses the font on the local computer that most closely resembles the device font. Because device font information is not embedded, using device fonts results in a smaller SWF file. In addition, device fonts can be sharper and more legible than exported font outlines at small point sizes (below 10 points). However, because device fonts are not embedded, text may appear differently than expected in user systems that do not have an installed font corresponding to the device font.
