Will my font show??

[Guest_imported]

When I type in Macromedia Flash and use a font that everyone doesnt have, then use "Modify>Break Apart" or "CTRL+B", will everyone be able to see what font I used?


Does Break Apart breaks the letters into pieces and turn them into small .jpg files in order to animate it?

yes, once you break them apart, convert them graphic symbols..you'll be fine..

nothing is really a jpg... they do become graphic symbols... you can also include the font into the swf, but it makes the load time longer.

When not using Device fonts, Flash will embed most all fonts anyways! And there's no need to use Break Apart, nor converting them to graphic symbols, unless you want to tween and/or change one property, such as alpha.
Swfs with special fonts should thus appear on most machines.

The problem arises when you send a .fla and the user doesn't have that special font. When he then tries to open the .fla, Flash will default to the closest font installed on the user's machine, instead of your font.
