Using Fonts

This topic describes how to use fonts in your Adobe Flex applications. Although it is easier to use the default device fonts, you can embed other fonts so that you can apply special effects to text-based controls, such as rotating and fading. This topic describes the differences between device fonts and embedded fonts. It describes how to efficiently embed double-byte fonts. It also shows multiple ways that you can embed fonts in your Adobe Flex applications, from using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) syntax to using FlashType fonts embedded inside external SWF files.
