I'm not sure if this is the best way to do what I want so I'm asking for advice. I've got several textboxes that are reading in html formated text. I want to use some cool fonts I downloaded but aren't that common. How do I make it so people that don't have the font on their PC can see it with out embedding it? I've heard about putting fonts in your libary, would that work? If I upload the font to my server will flash beable to use that to display it like in PHP?

why don't u want to embed the font>> for the HTML sake??
ok
u can put it in the library - as u say - open it> from the sub menus choose >> New Font
get it and give it a unique name, the linkage it as usual instances
then u can call it easily with
mytext.font = "myFont"

I thought if you were useing htmlText you couldn't embed fonts. At least it has worked for me so far. But I'll try importing it into the libary. Thanks Farafio.
