Font Embedding Issue

Question

I have an AS3 project. Which uses say 100 swfs, these are very small swf's from 5-15 kb a piece. All of these swf's have a textfield in them. I need to embed a font in those text fields.

If I embed the font in every swf, that's going to bump up the size a lot .
I cannot break apart the text as it's dynamic.
Text formatting is different in different swf's

Taking those points into consideration, what would be the best way to embed a font and how ?

That looks good, can I keep my text formatting in the swf and just not keep the font? – Fahim Akhter Jul 21 '11 at 14:32

you could use "runtime shared libraries" - here is a nice tutorial on how they work:
