To select and embed a range of fonts:
1.
On the Stage, select a text field, and then show the Property inspector (Window >
Properties).
2.
Click the Embed button to display the Character Embedding dialog box.
3.
Select the range of font sets you want to embed by doing any of the following:
Click on a character set in the Character Set text field.
Select multiple ranges by Shift-clicking the first and last fonts of a continguous range
of fonts, or by Control-clicking (Windows) or Command-clicking (Macintosh) to
select noncontiguous fonts.
Click the Auto Fill button.
The size of each font group appears in parentheses next to the font name. As you select
multiple font sets, the panel shows the total number of glyphs you selected.
For example, to embed Chinese and Western characters, you would need to
select Chinese and Western font sets. Select only the font sets you want to
embed, so you do not exceed the internal maximum number of glyphs for the
authoring tool (approximately 65.500). If you select more than the maximum, a
warning dialog box appears.
4.
Click OK.
If you exceed the internal maximum number of glyphs for the authoring tool, a warning
dialog box appears.
Flash does not perform error-checking to confirm that glyphs actually exist in the
font for the selected character set. During the actual publish or export procedure,
only glyphs that are present in the font are embedded in the SWF file.
To embed font sets from text on the Stage:
1.
Select the text on the Stage.
2.
In the Property inspector (Window > Properties), click the Character button to show the
Character Embedding dialog box.
3.
Select the character sets you want to embed.
4.
Click the AutoFill button.
5.
Click OK.
The glyphs for the selected fonts are embedded.
